abstract = "Utilizing the principles of elastic-brittle fracture mechanics, stress-displacement relationships are derived for an elastic solid containing a slip plane consisting of various configurations of collinear arrays of cracks. These models take into account the heterogeneous nature of slip planes, and are relevant to the behavior of rock containing faults, joints, bedding planes, and fractures. All models exhibit slip weakening behavior and show regimes of stable (aseismic) and unstable (seismic) deformation. For given configurations of cracks and applied boundary conditions, the results show the energy released through unstable crack growth.",
