Static stress changes--Coulomb
SPRING BRICKWINCH
Force Balance – Brick will not move until:
Force on spring Force resisting motion(its length change x its stiffness) (the weight of the brick x friction on surface)
Modeled after Ross Stein’s Coulomb Training I
Hypothesis: Faults interact by the transfer of stress
EARTHQUAKE! (only if stick-slip)
-Lisa Walsh
SPRING BRICKWINCH
Modeled after Ross Stein’s Coulomb Training I
BRICKSPRING
• Add another spring & brick• If you start cranking winch, PURPLE will move first. Then tension on spring will move GREEN.
EARTHQUAKE! EARTHQUAKE!
Source fault Receiver fault
= shear stress change + (coefficient of friction x normal stress change)
ΔCFS = Δτs+μ' Δσn
Coulomb stress calculationCoulomb
stress change
+ ΔCFS = closer to failure- ΔCFS = farther from failure
-Lisa Walsh
Key concepts:•Source faults•Receiver faults•Optimally oriented faults•Assume receiver faults are close to failure•Triggering lag time is a problem
Change of coulomb stress on faults of specified orientation
Can change spatiallyRemote: Sremote
Induced: Sinduced
Total:Sremote+Sinduced
Can change spatially
