Frictional and structural controls of seismic super-cycles at the Japan trench
Abstract The diverse mechanical behaviors of subduction zones during the seismic cycle emerge from the nonlinear dynamics of a complex mechanical system with interacting brittle and ductile deformation. The 2011 Tohoku mega-quake represents the culmination of a super-cycle of partial and full ruptur...
