Transmission of Seismic Waves With Tensile Components Across Cemented Rock Discontinuities Exhibiting Tension‐Softening Behavior
Fault slip involves not only shear but also tensile motions, causing repeated opening and closure of fault‐zone discontinuities. This cyclic deformation progressively changes the mechanical stiffness, fundamentally impacting seismic wave transmission. However, most existing analytical models neglect tensile component...
