Longer Migration and Spontaneous Decay of Aseismic Slip Pulse Caused by Fault Roughness

It has been known that natural faults possess rough profiles, which may play a vital role in earthquake dynamics. Here we examine the effect of fault roughness in the earthquake nucleation process using the rate and state friction law with the slip evolution law. The nucleation process on rough faul...
