Aseismic Creep
Linked via "fault lubrication"
Physical Mechanism and Lubrication Theory
The underlying physical mechanism driving aseismic creep is generally attributed to fault lubrication, although the exact rheological properties remain subjects of intense study. In the standard viscoelastic model of fault behavior, high shear stress $\tau$ can be accommodated by viscoplastic flow if the effective normal stress $\…
