Modeling the dynamic rupture propagation on heterogeneous faults with rate- and state-dependent friction

We investigate the effects of non-uniform distribution of constitutive parameters on the dynamic propagation of
 an earthquake rupture. We use a 2D finite difference numerical method and we assume that the dynamic rupture
 propagation is governed by a rate- and state-dependent consti...
