Equation 2 represents a rate- and state-dependent friction, where V *, τ * s, and Δτ s are an arbitrary reference slip velocity on the frictional surface, the strength of a fault sliding with a velocity of V *, and the differential fault strength measured from τ * s, respectively.
where τ is the magnitude of the shear traction, f is the friction coefficient, σ is the normal stress, f 0 is the steady-state friction coefficient at a reference slip rate V 0, V is the slip rate, a and b are non-dimensional parameters representing the amounts of the direct and evolution effect, respectively, θ is the state variable, and L is the state-evolution distance.
The friction coefficient µ is assumed to obey an RSF law (Dieterich, 1979; Ruina, 1983), as given by (3) (4) where a and b are friction coefficient parameters, dc is the characteristic slip distance associated with b, θ is a state variable for the plate interface, V is the slip velocity, and µ0 is a reference friction coefficient defined at a constant reference slip velocity of V0.
Next to it was an etymological dictionary with dozens of reference slips of different colors stuck between the pages and a large, handsome volume, "The 100 Most Beautiful Cathedrals in the World".
Breen in essence neutered Groucho Marx, removing most of his jokes which directly referenced sex, although some sexual references slipped through unnoticed in the Marx Brothers post-Code pictures.
Ardross, Bosra Sham, Light Shift, Love Divine, Oath, Oh So Sharp, Reference Point, Slip Anchor and Wince are among the horses that have ensured the flag, which is raised after every Group One win, fluttered regularly at Cecil's Warren Place yard in Newmarket.

Later, as public distrust of Mr Blair grew, the moment would come to be seen as a symbol of the disenchantments that lay ahead.Was the Ecclestone reference a slip of the tongue?
Smith was even more naive in thinking that a Hitler reference would slip under the media and public's radar scope.
In general, the slip and shear stress histories of our FE reference case agree well with those of the benchmark.
Last week her terms of reference were slipped out in a written answer to the Commons.
