The physics of fault friction: insights from experiments on simulated gouges at low shearing velocities

<p>The strength properties of fault rocks at shearing rates spanning the transition from crystal–plastic flow to frictional slip play a central role in determining the distribution of crustal stress, strain, and seismicity in tectonically active regions. We review experimental and microphysica...
