Abstract:<p class="paragraph"><span class="normaltextrun"><span lang="EN-US">The strength and sliding behavior of faults in the upper crust are largely controlled by friction and effective stress, which is itself modulated by the fluid pressure. However, while many studies have investigated the role of friction on the earthquake cycle, relatively little effort has gone into understanding the effects linked to dynamic changes… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
