The present numerical results are compared with published results obtained using a finite-difference (FD) method and a boundary integral (BI) method for rupture times and time functions of slip, slip rate, and shear stress at two particular points on the fault plane.
The 25 point sources within each subfault have the same source parameters except for the rupture time, which reflects the rupture propagation effect.
All of the experimental and collected data was combined to determine a minimum design value for a tensile stress and to predict a long-term life for a creep rupture time.
This indicates that if a priori homogeneous rupture velocity is selected and the a priori source time function for each subfault is sufficient for spanning the actual rupture time, the cumulative slip distribution is stable, but the rupture process is strongly affected by the rupture velocity.
The Kachanov equation made reasonable predictions of the rupture time for all cases.
The water film rupture time for typical oil and water thicknesses (in micro scale) was calculated using experimental data for oil-water-CO2 system.
The scale present after 10 000 h exposure in steam may be sufficient to cause a temperature increase of 50 K which will reduce the rupture time for a constant stress by a factor of 30.
Shown for each model is rupture time (contour every 10 s), final slip distribution and maximum slip velocity at each point of fault plane.
In order to determine the location of the rupture starting point and rupture time for each SMGA objectively, we read the onset of S1 S4 at stations along the source region.
The problem of optimal shape for the rotating full disk with respect to mixed rupture time is investigated.
