a Sketch of the simulation set-up. The system is infinite in direction z and periodic boundary conditions are applied in directions x and y. b Stress vs. time curve as well as the averaged rate of the simulated individual AE bursts for a representative configuration. The light blue vertical lines show the stress drops larger than 0.02. c Scatter plot of the injected energies during stress drops and the corresponding summed released AE energies for systems of N = 1024 dislocations, see caption of Fig. 2c for details. d The rate of aftershocks \({r}_{{{{{{{{\rm{as}}}}}}}}}^{\prime}\) scaled with \({({E}_{{{{{{{{\rm{ms}}}}}}}}}^{\prime})}^{0.35}\) after a main shock with energy \({E}_{{{{{{{{\rm{ms}}}}}}}}}^{\prime}\) given by the colour for N = 1024 dislocations (Omori and productivity laws). e PDF \(P({t}_{{{{{{{{\rm{w}}}}}}}}}^{\prime})\) for N = 256 dislocations and different platen speeds \({v}_{{{{{{{{\rm{p}}}}}}}}}^{\prime}\).
