Stick-slip behavior of a clayey crustal fault

Recent studies have revealed that slip on clay-rich fault planes, which develop in the shallow crust and can cause huge earthquakes, is controlled by their flow properties rather than their frictional properties. Here, we simulate a seismogenic crustal fault and show that such a fault plane may beha...
