Frictional behavior of planar and rough granite fractures subjected to normal load oscillations of different amplitudes

The dynamic frictional behaviors of natural discontinuities (joints, fractures, faults) play an important role in geohazards assessment; however, the mechanisms of the dynamic fault weakening/strengthening are still unclear. In this paper, a dynamic shear box was used to perform direct shear tests o...
