A shear fracture of brittle solids under compression undergoes a substantial evolution from the initial
microcracking to a fully formed powder-filled shear zone. Experiments covering the entire process are
relatively easy to conduct, but they are very difficult to investigate in detail. Numerically, the large strain
limit has remained a challenge. An efficient simulation model and a custom-made experimental device are
employed to test to what extent a shear fracture alone is sufficient to drive material to spontaneous selflubrication.
A “weak shear zone” is an important concept in geology, and a large number of explanations,
specific for tectonic conditions, have been proposed. We demonstrate here that weak shear zones are far
more general, and that their emergence only demands that a microscopic, i.e., fragment-scale, stress
relaxation mechanism develops during the fracture process.
