Statistical physics approach to understanding the multiscale dynamics of earthquake fault systems

JB Rundle, DL Turcotte, R Shcherbakov… - Reviews of …, 2003 - Wiley Online Library

Collective behavior of earthquakes and faults: Continuum‐discrete transitions, progressive evolutionary changes, and different dynamic regimes

Y Ben‐Zion - Reviews of Geophysics, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
Crustal deformation patterns are affected by multiscale granulation and healing processes

Micro and macroscopic models of rock fracture

DL Turcotte, WI Newman… - Geophysical Journal …, 2003 - academic.oup.com
The anelastic deformation of solids is often treated using continuum damage mechanics. An
alternative approach to the brittle failure of a solid is provided by the discrete fibre-bundle …

Retrospective on the Accelerating Seismic Release (ASR) hypothesis: Controversy and new horizons

A Mignan - Tectonophysics, 2011 - Elsevier
The hypothesis that large earthquakes may be preceded by a period of accelerating
