Solitary wave in a Burridge-Knopoff model with slip-dependent friction as a clue to understanding the mechanism of the self-healing slip pulse in an earthquake rupture process
A one-dimensional Burridge-Knopoff spring-block model with slip-dependent friction was studied to explore the possibility of a solitary wave solution existing for the problem of earthquake faulting. The result may be used as an alternative case of the crack model (e.g., Madariaga and Cochard, 1996)...
