# The second-order a and b terms in [..] are very important in
# determining whether sliding is stable or unstable and (in appli-
# cation to the Earth) whether an earthquake or stable creep
# occurs. From [..], velocity strengthening and thus stable creep
# occurs when a is greater than b. If b > a, instability can occur
# unless the "spring" supplying stress to the fault or sample is too
# stiff
# -- Norman H. Sleep:
# Application of a unified rate and state friction theory to the
# mechanics of fault zones with strain localization
# If a > b, the overall change of f is positive, the friction is
# velocity-strengthening, and only stable sliding is possible. On the
# other hand, if a < b, the overall change is negative, the friction
# is velocity-weakening, and dynamic instabilities can occur (e.g.,
# Ruina, 1983). The situation a < b provides a necessary but not a
# sufficient condition for instability.

# Dynamic ruptures in recent models of earthquake faults
