摘要: Earthquakes have been recognized as resulting from a stick-slip frictional instability along the faults between deformable rocks. From both practical observations and laboratory experiments, geometry of fault significantly affects faulting process. A 3-dimensional finite element code for modeling nonlinear contact behavior rocks with node-to-point strategy has developed applied here to analyze bend influence on earthquake nucleation
