    Abstract We study the response to slow tectonic loading of rough faults governed by velocity weakening rate and state friction, using a 2‐D plane strain model. Our numerical approach accounts for all stages in the seismic cycle, and in each simulation we model a sequence of two earthquakes or more. We focus on the global behavior of the faults and find that as the roughness amplitude, bᵣ, increases and the minimum wavelength of roughness decreases, there is a transition from seismic slip to aseismic slip, in which the load on the fault is released by more slip events but with lower slip rate, lower seismic moment per unit length, M₀,₁d, and lower average static stress drop on the fault, Δτₜ. Even larger decreases with roughness are observed when these source parameters are estimated only for the dynamic stage of the rupture. For bᵣ ≤ 0.002, the source parameters M₀,₁d and Δτₜ decrease mutually and the relationship between Δτₜ and the average fault strain is similar to that of a smooth fault. For faults with larger values of bᵣ that are completely ruptured during the slip events, the average fault strain generally decreases more rapidly with roughness than Δτₜ.

    Abstract We study numerically the effects of fault roughness on the nucleation process during earthquake sequences. The faults are governed by a rate and state friction law. The roughness introduces local barriers that complicate the nucleation process and result in asymmetric expansion of the rupture, nonmonotonic increase in the slip rates on the fault, and the generation of multiple slip pulses. These complexities are reflected as irregular fluctuations in the moment rate. There is a large difference between first slip events in the sequences and later events. In the first events, for roughness amplitude bᵣ ≤ 0.002, there is a large increase in the nucleation length with increasing bᵣ. For larger values of bᵣ, slip is mostly aseismic. For the later events there is a trade‐off between the effects of the finite fault length and the fault roughness. For bᵣ ≤ 0.002, the finite length is a more dominant factor and the nucleation length barely changes with bᵣ. For larger values of bᵣ, the roughness plays a larger role and the nucleation length increases significantly with bᵣ. Using an energy balance approach, where the roughness is accounted for in the fault stiffness, we derive an approximate solution for the nucleation length on rough faults. The solution agrees well with the main trends observed in the simulations for the later events and provides an estimate of the frictional and roughness properties under which faults experience a transition between seismic and aseismic slip.
