Slip-Weakening and Rate-Strengthening Friction Law for Shallow Layer Above the Seismogenic Zone
Accurate modeling of slip-rate time functions in the shallow portion above the seismogenic zone on a fault is essential for ground-motion prediction. Recent observations, such as those from the 2016 Kumamoto, central Kyushu, Japan, earthquake (MJMA 7.3), have revealed long-period ground motions and permanent displace...
