Did you hear that we can predict earthquake occurrence in the laboratory using Machine Learning? You might have already seen some great and interesting papers related to this topic. However, nearly all studies focused so far on the smooth faults,…
Using Acoustic Emission data from triaxial fracture experiments performed in our laboratory on Westerly Granite samples, Andrew Patton published a paper in Physical Rewiew E entitled “Large-scale heterogeneities can alter the characteristics of compressive failure and accelerated seismic release”. The…
Simon published a paper in Journal of Geophysical Research, Solid Earth entitled “Preparatory Slip in Laboratory Faults: Effects of Roughness and Load Point Velocity”. Simon’s paper presents outcomes of displacement-rate controlled friction experiments on roughened sawcut granite samples with different…
Jinlin Li from Section 4.8 of GFZ Potsdam published a paper in Geophysical Research Letters entitled “High-Rate Fluid Injection Reduces the Nucleation Length of Laboratory Earthquakes on Critically Stressed Faults in Granite”. The paper is published as Open Access article.…
