Velocity and Temperature Dependence of Steady‐State Friction of Natural Gouge Controlled by Competing Healing Mechanisms
GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS
02 june 2024
Shiying Nie, Sylvain Barbot

The empirical rate‐ and state‐dependent friction law is widely used to explain the frictional resistance of rocks. However, the constit...
