Fault zones are governed by diverse mechanical processes that hold the key to advancing our understanding of fault rupture behaviors and the related seismic hazards. This session seeks to delve into the interplay of intrinsic fault zone properties, stress regimes and kinematics patterns that dictate rupture mechanics of earthquakes and slow-slip events. Through the lens of advanced multi-geophysical observations from stress accumulation and release to the initiation, propagation, and termination of fault ruptures, we are gaining deeper insights into the mechanical processes governing fault zones. However, weaving these insights into a comprehensive understanding remains a challenge. This session invites contributions that focus on the mechanics of fault zone rupture behaviors, from micro to macro scales. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions that synthesize observational, experimental, theoretical and computational insights on the mechanics that control rupture dynamics in the fault zones.
