From: Velocity-strengthening friction significantly affects interfacial dynamics, strength and dissipation
The frictional stress 1s prior to the first event (dashed lines) and 1s after (solid lines).
The color code is as in Fig. 1. It is seen that the stress left at the tail of the rupture fronts, τr, is roughly homogeneous in space and that it is much lower in the PW model than in the LS and STL models. The location of the fronts after the event is marked by xtip. The deeper penetration of the PW model, also shown in Fig. 4, is clearly visible.
