Modeling of fault gouges with Cosserat Continuum Mechanics: Influence of thermal pressurization and chemical decomposition as coseismic weakening mechanisms

In this paper we study the impact of thermal pressurization and mineral decomposition reactions under seismic deformation conditions (e.g., slip rates of about 1 m/s) triggered by shear heating, to the stability of a saturated fault material. By using higher order continuum considerations, allowing...
