3 The Mechanics of Slow Earthquakes and the Spectrum of Fault Slip Behaviors 1. Friction laws: why do we need something as complex as rate/state? 2. How do slow earthquakes work? What mechanism sets the speed limit? Why are they slow? 3. Speculations on how recent lab results may in apply in nature. Scaling laws for a spectrum of slip modes from slows earthquakes to super-shear rupture (SSE, LFE, tremor, VLFE, ULFE, MLFE, BB-eq, elasto-dynamic EQs).
4 Minimum requirements for a friction law for faulting Adhesive Theory of Friction (Bowden and Tabor, 1950 s) Real contact area << nominal area Stress at contact junctions is at the inelastic (plastic) yield strength Contacts grow with age Add: Rabinowicz s observations of static/dynamic friction Static friction is higher than Dynamic friction because contacts are older (larger) -> implies that contact size decreases as slip velocity increases
5 Coulomb s law for shear failure = C + µ i n Byerlee s Law for Rock Friction = 50[MPa]+0.6 n µ = 0.6 Byerlee, 1978
6 Time dependence of static friction Aging of frictional contacts Coulomb, 1785 C. A. Coulomb ( )

8 Real contact area << nominal area; Contact stresses are high Contact junctions grow with time (age) Dieterich and Kilgore [1994]
9 For many materials: friction varies systematically with sliding velocity and exhibits transient response when velocity is changed Dieterich and Kilgore, 1994
10 Minimum requirements for a friction law for faulting Aging (time dependence) Velocity dependence (kinetic friction varies systematically with sliding velocity) Stick-slip motion (repeated failure followed by restrengthening)

98 Summary 1. Slow earthquakes and fast, normal earthquakes are part of the spectrum of fault slip behaviors (slip modes) 2. We produce lab slow earthquakes by matching loading stiffness and frictional rheology 3. We observe the full spectrum of slip rates from fast to slow, near the stability boundary 4. Stick-slip stress drop is lower for slower events and decreases with slip event speed the same as for slow vs. regular earthquakes
