Faulting, Friction, and Earthquake Mechanics - Pt.2:

This volume grew out of an attempt to bring together recent works on issues such as the evolution with displacement of fault stability, the dynamics of earthquake rupture and earthquake scaling relations, the relation between fault zone structure and stability, the effects of fluid on failure criteria and fault properties, and the implications of microstructures in field and laboratory-scale fault zones for failure laws and the state of stress on faults.
Included are laboratoy studies of the micromechanics of friction and fracture, studies of fault mechanics and the seismic cycle, studies of dynamic rupture on faults obeying slip-rate and state-variable friction laws, and detailed field studies of fault zone structures and properties.
