On Aperture-Friction Networks

Geophysics 2012-12-12 v1

Abstract

A model based on self-organizing nature of the surfaces is represented to capture the evolution of friction networks. Also, the curvatures of displacement fields are determined and critical curvature profiles are connected through links to form ridge-networks. To generate the ridge-networks, we consider the interactions of pairs though a directed network framework, namely, dilatancy (divergence) and deviotric components (vorticity) of local maxima of curvature profiles. The correlation of the characteristics of generated networks with synthetic acoustic signatures of frictional interface is postulated while the interactions of critical pairs before and after frictional sliding highlighted.
