Abstract:Stresses exerted on faults are constantly subjected to fluctuations related to the periodicity of external forces applied to the Earth's crust, for example, tidal forces, or seasonal variations in water loads. These stress variations have been linked to time periods when earthquakes are more likely to occur in some specific contexts, but the precise mechanisms at play are not fully understood. Experimental work is here conducted to examine the influence of several key parameters, namely oscillation period and … Show more
