The 2018 Hokkaido Eastern Iburi earthquake (MJMA = 6 7) was triggered by a strike slip faulting in a stepover segment: insights from the aftershock distribution and the focal mechanism solution of the main shock
... Qualitatively, these motions possibly promoted reverse faulting in the northern and southern segments. To test the fault model, the Coulomb failure stress change (ΔCFS) in and around the focal area was calculated (see ...

The role of mechanical stratigraphy on the refraction of strike-slip faults
... Abstract. Fault and fracture planes (FFPs) affecting multi- layer sequences can be significantly refracted at layer–layer interfaces due to the different mechanical properties of the contiguous layers, such as shear ...

Analogue modelling of strike slip surface ruptures: Implications for Greendale Fault mechanics and paleoseismology
... There are two separate fault morphologies represented by the experiments in this study, and they represent the Greendale Fault at different scales. This interpretation is supported by clear morphological differences ...
