Although the widths of fault damage zones commonly show a positive correlation with
displacements, these relationships also show a somewhat scattered distribution. We believe …

Exhumed fault zones offer insights into deformation processes associated with earthquakes
in unparalleled spatial resolution; however it can be difficult to differentiate seismic slip from …

The energy released during an earthquake is mostly dissipated in the fault zone and
subordinately as radiated seismic waves. The on-fault energy budget is partitioned into …

Investigation of rock progressive damage under static confinement and strain rates facilitates
the generation mechanism of natural fault damage zones. A triaxial Hopkinson bar …

Rock rheology and density have first‐order effects on the lithosphere's response to plate
tectonic forces at plate boundaries. Changes in these rock properties are controlled by …

Rock fracture mechanics and accurate characterization of rock fracture are crucial for
understanding a variety of phenomena interested in geological engineering and …

Previous studies show that pulverized rocks observed along large faults can be created by
single high‐strain rate loadings in the laboratory, provided that the strain rate is higher than …

Earthquakes are the result of a combination of (1) physico-chemical processes operating in
fault zones, which allow ruptures to nucleate and rock friction to decrease with increasing …

In-situ shattered rocks are often associated with seismogenic fault zones, but their
mechanism of formation is still matter of debate, partly because of the limited number of field …

A combination of seismic refraction tomography, laboratory ultrasonic velocity
measurements, and microstructural observations was used to study the shallow velocity …
