Velocity stepping test. a Friction coefficient, maximum shear stress, and velocity against displacement. Rate-dependent friction shows the direct response to the velocity change. The maximum shear stress also changes but with delay. b Calculated equivalent resulting effects. The resulting effect has an instantaneous increase followed by a gradual decrease. c Direct, evolving, and resulting frictional effect of the rate-and-state-dependent friction law
