Shear strain localization in elastodynamic rupture simulations

We study strain localization as an enhanced velocity weakening mechanism on earthquake faults. Fault friction is modeled using Shear Transformation Zone (STZ) Theory, a microscopic physical model for non‐affine rearrangements in granular fault gouge. STZ Theory is implemented in spring slider and dy...
