3-D Simulation of Tectonic Loading at Convergent Plate Boundary Zones: Internal Stress Fields in Non simply represent the mechanical process of partial collision, which includes total subduction (.=0) and total collision (.=1) as two extreme cases, in terms of steady slip rates at plate interfaces. On the basis of elastic dislocation theory, first, we numerically computed the internal stress fiel

Dynamic Rupture in a 3-D Particle-based Simulation of a Rough Planar Fault,sions is presented. A very simple friction law without any rate dependency and no spatial heterogeneity in the intrinsic coefficient of friction is used in the model. To simulate earthquake dynamics the model is sheared in a direction parallel to the fault plane with a constant velocity at the drivi

Quartz Rheology and Short-time-scale Crustal Instabilities,ion. An example is shown here in which a 30×50 km piece of a wet quarzitic crust is extended for about 2 Ma. The associated total displacement field clearly shows the unstable slipping events, which have a characteristic time frame of one to several years. In contrast, olivine is very stable and has

Parallel 3-D Simulation of a Fault Gouge Using the Lattice Solid Model,sheared in opposite directions by normally-loaded driving plates. The results demonstrate that the gouge particles in the 3-D models undergo significant out-of-plane motion during shear. The 3-D models also exhibit a higher mean macroscopic friction than the 2-D models for varying values of interpar

AMR behavior shows apparent focal mechanism dependence: 15 out of 17 dip-slip earthquakes with stable moment release characteristics against the changing of searching areas exhibit AMR behavior, while 16 out of 25 strike-slip earthquakes with stable moment release characteristic

Improvement in the Fault Boundary Conditions for a Staggered Grid Finite-difference Method,tion of the fault boundary conditions in the staggered grid finite-difference method by using a fictious surface to satisfy the fault boundary conditions. In our implementation, velocity (or displacement) grids are set on the fault plane, stress grids are shifted half grid spacing from the fault and

The paper analyses a simple shear of a fault under constraining compression acting in the direction normal to the fault. An infinite layer subjected to opposite displacements and zero rotations at the edges is considered. It is
