Fig. 1: Phase diagram of rupture dynamic and four types of rupture modes.
From: The slow self-arresting nature of low-frequency earthquakes
a Slip-weakening frictional law; \({\sigma }_{{{{{{\rm{u}}}}}}}\), \({\sigma }_{0}\), and \({\sigma }_{{{{{{\rm{r}}}}}}}\) are the peak strength, initial stress and residual stress, respectively. Tu is the breakdown stress drop, Te is the dynamic stress drop. b Four types of rupture modes. The simulated strike-slip faults are shown as the green background area, and the white dashed lines enclose the nucleation asperity. All four types of rupture are under the same initial stress state. c Rupture phase diagram in parameter spaces (Dc, Ra, Te, Tu) for four different combinations of friction parameters.
