Frictional Weakening

Frictional Weakening is a mechanical process in seismology characterized by the reduction of shear strength along a fault plane during rapid slip, distinguishing it from static frictional behavior by its dependence on velocity, temperature, and material degradation mechanisms that facilitate coseismic rupture propagation.
