Single-Well Pore Pressure Preconditioning for Enhanced Geothermal System Stimulation
Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Mathias Alexandre David Lebihain, Barnaby Padraig Fryer
The stress state is an important parameter in terms of both earthquake nucleation and rupture. Here, a new stimulation technique is proposed for Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGSs), which have previously been burdened with a number of high-profile incidence ...
AMER GEOPHYSICAL UNION2023Three-dimensional fluid-driven frictional ruptures: theory and applications
Fluid-driven frictional ruptures are important in a broad range of subsurface engineering technologies and natural earthquake-related phenomena. Some examples of subsurface operations where borehole fluid injections can induce frictional slip are deep geot ...
EPFL2023Influence of Viscous Lubricant on Nucleation and Propagation of Frictional Ruptures
Marie Estelle Solange Violay, François Xavier Thibault Passelègue, Federica Paglialunga
Fluids are pervasive in the Earth's crust and saturate fractures and faults. The combination of fluids and gouge layers developing along faults can generate fluids of different viscosities. Such viscous fluids were found to influence the reactivation, fric ...
AMER GEOPHYSICAL UNION2023Long-term triggered seismicity on the Mosha fault by Damavand volcano, Iran: Implications on the seismic hazard of Tehran metropolis
The seismic history of the Mosha fault, the largest and most active fault of Eastern Tehran metropolis, and its relation to the Damavand active volcano, the highest mountain in the Middle East, is investigated. We deduce that the central Mosha, near the Da ...
2022Modelling of in-plane seismic behaviour of one-way steel or timber jack arch floors in existing buildings
The type of floor system has a decisive role in the seismic performance of unreinforced masonry buildings. The in-plane stiffness of the floors has to be adequately represented in the numerical modelling of existing buildings, as it can influence their sei ...
2022Fault roughness’s influence on experimental fault mechanical behavior
Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Barnaby Padraig Fryer, Seyyedmaalek Momeni, François Xavier Thibault Passelègue, Carolina Giorgetti
Fault slip behavior and earthquake nucleation are often framed within the context of velocity-dependent friction, ranging from velocity-strengthening to velocity-weakening behavior. Previous studies have shown that fault roughness controls the fault slip b ...
2022cRacklet: a spectral boundary integral method library for interfacial rupture simulation
Jean-François Molinari, Thibault Didier Roch, Fabian Barras
The study of dynamically propagating rupture along interfaces is of prime importance in various fields and system sizes, including tribology (nm to m), engineering (mm to m) and geophysics (m to km) (Armstrong-Hélouvry et al., 1994; Ben-Zion, 2008; Vanossi ...
2022Perimeter Modes of Nanomechanical Resonators Exhibit Quality Factors Exceeding 10(9) at Room Temperature

Systems with low mechanical dissipation are extensively used in precision measurements such as gravitational wave detection, atomic force microscopy, and quantum control of mechanical oscillators via optomechanics and electromechanics. The mechanical quali ...
AMER PHYSICAL SOC2022Earthquake Nucleation along Faults with Heterogeneous Weakening Rate
Jean-François Molinari, Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Thibault Didier Roch, Mathias Alexandre David Lebihain
The transition from quasi-static slip growth to dynamic rupture propagation constitutes one possible scenario to describe earthquake nucleation. If this transition is rather well understood for homogeneous faults, how the friction properties of multiscale ...
2021On the scaling between precursory moment release and earthquake magnitude: Insights from the laboratory
Marie Estelle Solange Violay, François Xavier Thibault Passelègue, Mateo Alejandro Acosta
Recent seismological observations highlighted that both aseismic silent slip and/or foreshock sequences can precede large earthquake ruptures (Tohoku-Oki, 2011, Mw 9.0 (Kato et al., 2012); Iquique, 2014, Mw 8.1 (Ruiz et al, 2014; Socquet et al., 2017); Ill ...
