Abstract: In our study of the deformation dynamics of a large fault, analogue modeling is based on an elastic-viscoplastic model of the lithosphere. The aim is to discover a mechanism that controls preparation and subsequent complete seismic activation of large faults considered as strong earthquake sources. Digital image correlation (DIC) is applied to process the optical images taken during the experiments, which show fault segmentation and phased activation. Between complete activation stages, a fault consists of segments, and its active segments undergo regressive and progressive phases of their evolution.
