Effects of a newly incorporated with a stress-weakening term in a revised RSF on earthquake nucleation
Quasi-static nucleation on a frictional fault embedded in an elastic medium is known to be sensitive to the frictional properties.Earlier works have employed aging and slip versions of rate- and state-dependent friction (RSF) law,but some clear flaws have been known; the aging law wrongly predicted linearly increasing slip-weakening distance with the amount of strength reduction,whereas the slip law could not reproduce observed time-dependent healing at very low velocities.
