We present an efficient numerical method for earthquake cycle simulations that employs a finite difference discretization of the off-fault material to accommodate spatially variable elastic properties. The method is developed for the two-dimensional antiplane shear problem of a vertical strike-slip fault with rate-and-state friction. We compare earthquake cycles in a homogeneous half-space with...

Theoretically, five-frequency observations can form combined with longer wavelength, smaller ionospheric delay and noise, which may improve the performance of cycle slip detection repair. Four geometry-free phase combinations one pseudorange combination are formed to detect repair slips in real time. Firstly, high-quality three, four five frequencies discussed, then optimal selected slips. Seco...

We consider the spatiotemporal fluctuation of slip-link positions via the implementation of elastic slip-links. The level of description is similar to our previously proposed slip-link model, wherein we use the entanglement position in space as dynamic variables, and the number of Kuhn steps between entanglements. However, since it is a mean-field, single-chain description it has some relevance...

Slip-induced fall accidents have been recognized as a serious threat to the health of the elderly.The objective of the current study was to investigate the aging effect on the biomechanical reactions of both perturbed foot and unperturbed foot to the unexpected slips. Nineteen younger (mean age: 25.0 years old) and twenty-one older (mean age: 71.2 years old) adults were involved in a laboratory...
