ABSTRACT


The debris particles may be gradually produced by the fault sliding. In this paper, the debris particles are simulated by ellipsoids to investigate the regularly stick-slip behavior. The derivation of the mathematical formulas is based on the force equilibrium and the geometric relationship between elliptical particles. Two main conclusions show as follows:(1) The relative shear behavior between particles under low normal stress can explain the stick-slip phenomena. (2) The particle size is approximate to the average shear displacement in every stick-slip cycle.


Keywords: stick-slip, elliptical particle, shear behavior.
