Frictional Heating Processes and Energy Budget During Laboratory Earthquakes

During an earthquake, part of the released elastic strain energy is dissipated within the slip zone by frictional and fracturing processes, the rest being radiated away via elastic waves. While frictional heating plays a key role in the energy budget of ea ...

Frictional evolution, acoustic emissions activity and off-fault damage in simulated faults sheared at seismic slip rates

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, François Xavier Thibault Passelègue

We present a series of high-velocity friction tests conducted on Westerly granite, using the Slow to HIgh Velocity Apparatus (SHIVA) installed at Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia Roma with acoustic emissions (AEs) monitored at high frequency ...
