Fig. 4From: Role of multiscale heterogeneity in fault slip from quasi-static numerical simulationsModel with two patches (L: large; S: small). a Distribution of two patches in terms of peak strength \(\Delta \tau\) and characteristic distance \(w_{c}\). The cross section is taken at \(x = 5\,{\text{km}}\), running through the center of the small patch. b Frictional behavior, from Eq. (4), for both L and S, with \(w_{0} = 0.2,0.6,{\text{and}}\;1.0\,{\text{m}}\) Back to article page
