Abstract:In general terms, earthquakes are the result of brittle failure within the heterogeneous crust of the Earth. However, the rupture process of a heterogeneous material is a complex physical problem which is difficult to model deterministically due to the numerous parameters and physical conditions, which are largely unknown. Considering the variability within the parametrization, it is necessary to analyze earthquakes by means of different approaches. Computational physics may offer alternative ways to study bri… Show more
