Nucleation of Stick‐Slip Instability Within a Large‐Scale Experimental Fault: Effects of Stress Heterogeneities Due to Loading and Gouge Layer Compaction

Geodetic observations and large‐scale laboratory experiments show that seismic instability is preceded by slow slip within a finite nucleation zone. In laboratory experiments rupture nucleation is studied mostly using bare (rock) interfaces, whereas upper crustal faults are typically filled with gou...
