Earthquake source characteristics from dynamic rupture with constrained stochastic fault stress (2007, result): “This is in good agreement with results obtained by McGuire et al. [2002] , who found that unidirectional propagation dominates for crustal strike-slip events and who were able to explain this observation by a model with hypocenters uniformly distributed over a fault with fixed size, comparable to o”
Evidence for self-similar, triangular slip distributions on earthquakes: Implications for earthquake and fault mechanics. (2005, background): “This could in turn partly explain why most earthquakes propagate unilaterally [McGuire et al., 2002].”
Earthquake scaling relations for mid‐ocean ridge transform faults (2004, background): “…source inversions for large RTF earthquakes B12302 BOETTCHER AND JORDAN: TRANSFORM FAULT SEISMICITY 13 of 21 B12302 [Abercrombie and Ekström, 2001; McGuire et al., 2002b], which indicate that the rupture width of an upper cutoff event, WC, is probably closer to the full thermal thickness WT than…”
Macroscopic Asymmetry of Dynamic Rupture on a Bimaterial Interface With Velocity- Weakening Friction (2006, background): “A ‘directivity ratio’ (McGuire et al. 2002; McGuire 2004) is defined as DR = μ̂ (1,1)√ μ̂(0,2)μ̂(2,0) , (11) with values in the range −1 to 1.”
