Mechanics of frictional healing

The frictional properties of rocks depend on temperature, switching from stable to unstable at various temperatures. We explain this behavior by the activation of competing healing mechanisms with the gouge layer.

Predicting earthquakesSylvain Barbot is using mathematics to describe how rocks behave when they break under stress and hopes this will allow us to predict when the big one is about to hit.
