Data from the manuscript: Friction in clay-bearing faults increases with the ionic radius of interlayer cations

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: August 01, 2026 at 04:23 AM | Dataset Last Updated: April 04, 2022 at 12:00 AM
Data are time series of clay shearing tests presented in 'Friction in clay-bearing faults increases with the ionic radius of interlayer cations' by Sakuma et al. in Communications Earth & Environment, 2022. Data were used for Figure 1 and Supplementary Figure 8 in that paper. Files contain shear strength as a function of fault slip in laboratory tests for brine-saturated montmorillonite clay.
