"This means we need to rethink the fundamental basis of the fault mechanics used in forecasting the seismic activity of earthquakes." In the context of rock friction studies, the direct effect of ...

Scientists have built a lab model that visually tracks how microscopic contact points between fault surfaces evolve during ...

He noted abrupt changes in rock friction during the transition to semi-brittle behavior, challenging the fundamental basis of fault mechanics used in earthquake forecasting. The study’s findings ...

Researchers have developed a laboratory earthquake model that connects the microscopic real contact area between fault ...
