Nucleation Mechanism and Rupture Dynamics of Laboratory Earthquakes at Different Loading Rates
The loading rate of tectonic stress is not constant during long-term geotectonic activity and significantly affects the earthquake nucleation and fault rupture process. However, the mechanism underlying the loading rate effect is still unclear. In this study, we conducted a series of experiments to...
