Book Description
The dynamics of the earthquake rupture process are closely related to fault zone properties which the authors have intensively investigated by various observations in the field as well as by laboratory experiments. These include geological investigation of the active and fossil faults, physical and chemical features obtained by the laboratory experiments, as well as the seismological estimation from seismic waveforms. Earthquake dynamic rupture can now be modeled using numerical simulations on the basis of field and laboratory observations, which should be very useful for understanding earthquake rupture dynamics.
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Good supplementary material for researchers and graduate students who are interested in earthquake source physics."--Pure Applied Geophysics
Review
This book bridges research from multiple fields (seismology, structural geology and rock mechanics) to create a unique interdisciplinary approach to earthquake faulting
