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.
