摘要
Earthquakes have long been recognized as resulting from a stick-slip frictional instability. The development of a full constitutive raw for rock friction now shows that the gamut of earthquake phenomena-seismogenesis and seismic coupling, pre-and post-seismic phenomena, and the insensitivity of earthquakes to stress transients-all appear as manifestations of the richness of this friction law.
