Fig. 1: Typical observed fault displacement and cumulative moment over time as induced by fluid injection.
From: Constraining maximum event magnitude during injection-triggered seismicity
The reactivated laboratory faults are under boundary conditions of (a) constant shear stress and (b) zero displacement. Measured variables and axes are color-coded to show the time evolution of fault fluid pressure, injection volume, fault slip and dilation, instantaneous strength, and cumulative moment magnitude.
