Abstract
This thesis is a technical document on a novel piece of experimental machinery, developed by the Rock Deformation Laboratory, the School of Environmental Science, University of Liverpool. This machine is a Confined High Velocity Rotary Shear Apparatus, with fast-acting servohydraulic confining pressure control, upstream and downstream servo-controlled pore pressure, and is capable of a range of displacement rates. This apparatus will be able to produce rock friction measurements under conditions commensurate with those found in natural earthquake ruptures
