From: Velocity-strengthening friction significantly affects interfacial dynamics, strength and dissipation
The loading force fd vs. time for the three models (color code as in Fig. 1).
It is seen that all of the curves coincide for short times and then begin to diverge. The LS and STL models maintain the same “envelope”, while the PW model features more pronounced stress drops, larger inter-event times and a lower overall resistance. (inset) The same data as in the main panel, but this time 
is plotted vs. time. The red lines are linear fits to the values of 
at the rupture arrest times ta (i.e. 
right after the force drops), cf. the prediction in Eq. (17).
