Beyond Byerlee friction, weak faults and implications for slip behavior
Some faults are considered strong because their strength is consistent with the Coulomb
criterion under Byerlee's friction, 0.6< μ< 0.85. In marked contrast, numerous studies have …

Thermal decomposition along natural carbonate faults during earthquakes
Earthquake slip is facilitated by a number of thermally activated physicochemical processes
that are triggered by temperature rise during fast fault motion, ie, frictional heating. Most of …
