Fig. 3

Evolution of slip behavior in terms of slip deficit and slip rate, averaged for each patch (center and right panels), for a \(\gamma = 1\) and b \(\gamma = 2\). The three lines correspond to \(R = 10\) (green), 20 (blue), and 40 (red), respectively. In the right-hand panels, gray lines represent the behaviors of different parts of a patch, and the solid colored lines give the average behavior for an entire patch
