Homoclinic bifurcation of a rate-weakening patch in a viscoelastic medium and effect of strength contrast
Abstract The time-dependent viscoelastic deformation of host rocks is important when considering the dynamics of fault behavior, specifically in brittle–ductile transitional regions or shallow subduction zones, because it relaxes stress heterogeneity and affects loading to the fault. For a rate-and-...
