Effects of fault failure parameterization and bulk rheology on earthquake rupture

Different physical processes associated with material failure affect earthquake rupture nucleation and propagation. These processes are frictional sliding along faults of different roughness, fracturing of the intact rock sections connecting the preexisting planes of weakness (fault step overs) or c...
