Dear folks:
27 November 2003
I worte a short introduction of the effects of frictional melting on
fault behavior.
For those interested, please go to "Tidbit of the week" and look at
"Earthquake generation processes as explored in pseudotachylites" at the
following site:
http://swdcft49.kugi.kyoto-u.ac.jp/kagi/index_e.htm
A group at Nagoya Univ. has been solving a Stefan problem and has been
getting results similar to experimental data.
Regards,
Toshi
