🌋 2D Burridge-Knopoff Earthquake Model: Coupled Slider Blocks, Stick-Slip Cycles and the Gutenberg-Richter Law

A Burridge-Knopoff chain of slider blocks with velocity-weakening friction and a creeping plate: stick-slip earthquakes, moment magnitudes, a rupture space-time map, a synthetic seismogram and a fitted Gutenberg-Richter b-value, with in-page checks against the exact single-block cycle and the normal-mode spectrum.
