MOTIVATION
• Complicated macroscale processes (e.g., fault slip) commonly require phenomenological descriptions.
• Particle dynamics (PD) models, e.g., DEM, allow us to explore fundamental physics of the system - source of phenomenology.
• Controlled lab experiments provide intermediate validation points, bridging gap between PD models and whole earth simulations.

FAULT MECHANICS EXPERIMENTS
• Byerlee’s Law
• Rocks fracture and create gouge
• Slip localizes -> dynamic instabilities
• Rate-state friction – phenomenological, not physics-based.
• We still can’t predict earthquakes Fault structure

DISCRETE ELEMENT METHOD(Cundall and Strack, 1979)
Advantages of DEM:-Allows heterogeneous and discontinuous deformation.
System can evolve through time and space.- Can correlate behavior with physical properties and
mechanical state.-Constitutive behavior is a result, not an assumption.
Use DEM simulations to explore fundamental mechanics of fault gouge

PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION(Sammis et al., 1986, 1987)
Greater relative abundance of small particles --->
Experimental Configurations
![Page 6: CAPTURING PHYSICAL PHENOMENA IN PARTICLE DYNAMICS SIMULATIONS OF GRANULAR GOUGE Effects of Contact Laws, Particle Size Distribution, and the 3 rd Dimension.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e0d5503460f94af6939/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
PSD EFFECTS ON STRENGTH
Greater relative abundance of small particles --->
Strength drops to D=1.6 -> Slip weakening mechanism.No means for shear strength recovery.
![Page 7: CAPTURING PHYSICAL PHENOMENA IN PARTICLE DYNAMICS SIMULATIONS OF GRANULAR GOUGE Effects of Contact Laws, Particle Size Distribution, and the 3 rd Dimension.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e0d5503460f94af6939/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
WHY ARE SHEAR STRENGTHS LOW?Ease of particle rolling in 2D.
• PSD changes during granular shear result in second order decreases in strength, providing a means for slip weakening along fault zones.
• Rolling of particles in 2D system yields unreliable strength estimates.
![Page 8: CAPTURING PHYSICAL PHENOMENA IN PARTICLE DYNAMICS SIMULATIONS OF GRANULAR GOUGE Effects of Contact Laws, Particle Size Distribution, and the 3 rd Dimension.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e0d5503460f94af6939/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
EFFECT OF PARTICLE ROLLINGNumerically damp or restrict particle rolling
At high interparticle friction, rolling still dominates in 2D.Must fully restrict particle rolling ~ interlocking angular particles.

PARTICLE FRACTURE(Lang, Sparks, and Aharanov, in prep)
![Page 10: CAPTURING PHYSICAL PHENOMENA IN PARTICLE DYNAMICS SIMULATIONS OF GRANULAR GOUGE Effects of Contact Laws, Particle Size Distribution, and the 3 rd Dimension.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e0d5503460f94af6939/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
PARTICLE FRACTURE(Lang, Sparks, and Aharanov, in prep)
PSD’s for several run pairs, at 18 MPa (black) and 27 MPa (red), at 3 different strains. Systems shown by red-black pairs have experienced the same number of breakage events (25, 50 or 95).
PSD is basically the same for all systems with the same amount of damage, although they have been subjected to different stresses, and significantly different strains.

RATE-STATE FRICTION(e.g., Dieterich, 1979)
Fault friction depends on sliding velocity, V, and system “state”, (t, Dc).
CPU intensive calculation.

TIME-DEPENDENTCONTACT STRENGTHENING
(e.g., Dieterich, 1972; Beeler et al., 1994; Marone, 1998).
Friction depends on duration of contact, t, during static holds; drops to dynamic value
upon slip.
Simpler to implement numerically, and may reproduce rate-state phenomenology.

DEM MODELS W/ CONTACT HEALING
• Velocity-strengthening - steady-state friction.
• Log(time) strengthening - during holds.
• Instantaneous (direct) change in friction.
• Evolution with strain (e.g., Dc).
• Velocity-stepping and slide-hold-slide tests.
• Insight into the micromechanics of gouge that enable these phenomena.
Simple, one-variable dependence produces:

Velocity = 1E-3 m/s
Stick-Slip Deformation Mode: Cyclic Elastic Loading, Plastic Yield, and Failure.
Gradual Dilation -> Rapid Contraction.
Contact healing results in higher friction, higher
elastic modulus.

SUMMARY
• Using a simple log-time dependent contact healing law, we are able to reproduce many aspects of observed rate-state friction response.
• Most interesting is that our contacts are purely elastico-frictional – All “plasticity” is contained within granular interactions. What is “state” – geometry and particle packing?
