Partial rupture of a locked patch of the Sumatra megathrust during the 2007 earthquake sequence by Konca, A. Ozgun, Avouac, Jean-Philippe, Sladen, Anthony, Meltzner, Aron J., Sieh, Kerry, Fang, Peng, Li, Zhenhong, Galetzka, John, Genrich, Jeff, Chlieh, Mohamed, Natawidjaja, Danny H., Bock, Yehuda, Fielding, Eric J., Ji, Chen, Helmberger, Don V.

“…This variability probably arises from the influence of non-permanent barriers, zones with locally lower pre-stress due to the past earthquakes. The stress state of the portion of the Sunda megathrust that had ruptured in 1833 and 1797 was probably not adequate for the development of a single large rupture in 2007. …”
