Abstract
Laboratory studies of large-scale simulated faults show that physical properties of the fault, specifically normal stress and fault roughness, significantly influence the unstable shear failure behavior of the fault. In addition, the experiments provide insights into important length-scaling effects that are useful for assessing concepts such as critical crack length or rupture nucleation dimension. Stick-slip shear failures have been generated...
