Rate and State Dependent Friction
Rate and State Dependent Friction : A class of constitutive relationships that describe sliding friction over a wide range of conditions and time scales, developed by Ruina (1983) and Rice and Ruina (1983) as a generalization of equations of Dieterich (1978, 1979). These relations consist of a base frictional resistance and depend on the sliding speed (rate) and contacts (state) on the fault plane. See: Lockner and Beeler (2002, p. 521), Harris (2003), and Eqs. (5.4a)-(5.4f) and Figure 12 in Ben-Zion (2003)
