Localization of fast and slow slip in fault gouge and fracture energy scaling
Fault gouge slip localizes at δ_loc ≈ γ_c h, decomposing fracture energy as G = G_loc(h) + ΔG(δ) where G_loc scales with gouge thickness (and thus fault size) while ΔG grows with co-seismic slip via thermal pressurization.
