Fault damage zones and friction: insights from shallow Japan Trench drill core
… the static friction coefficient (μs). Thus, earthquakes and the associated patterns of slip are controlled by the frictional properties of faults. The March 11, 2011 Mw 9.0 Tohoku-oki earthquake resulted in an unprecedented coseismic slip of >50 m in the shallow portion of the Japan Trench …

A quasi-dynamic and self-consistent rupture model to simulate earthquake ruptures
Dynamic earthquake rupture modeling provides information on the rupture physics as the rupture velocity, frictions or tractions acting during the rupture process. Nevertheless, as often based on spatial gridded preset geometries, dynamic modeling is depending on many free parameters leading to both …

Modeling of the great earthquake seismic cycles
The timing and location of the two largest earthquakes of the 21st century (Sumatra, 2004 and Tohoku 2011, events) greatly surprised the scientific community, indicating that the deformation processes that precede and follow great megathrust earthquakes remain enigmatic. During these phases before …

Shear Modulus Degradation of Liquefying Sand: Quantification and Modeling
… will react to large ground motions produced by earthquakes. Of all the different types of soil, liquefiable soils present some of the greatest challenges. The ability to quantify the degradation of a soil's shear modulus as it undergoes liquefaction would help engineers design more reliably and …
