Statistical Mechanics Perspective on Earthquakes
2017
We report on theoretical and numerical investigations of a series of simple models of earthquake faults. We find that the range of stress transfer, the nature of the friction force, the magnitude of the noise, and the “fault” geometry all play an important role in determining the statistics of earthquakes. In addition to providing some understanding of the nature of faults and fault systems, these studies raise interesting questions about the nature of equilibrium.
