We theoretically study the dynamic slip of a one‐dimensional fault considering thermoporoelastic effects including shear heating, fluid flow, and inelastic pore creation. We find that the qualitative nature of system behavior can be understood in terms of three nondimensional parameters:Su,S′u, andP*0. The parameterSurepresents the relative dominance of the effect of inelastic pore creation on the fluid pressure change over that of shear heating, whileS′uis associated with the dominance of the fluid flow effect over the effect of shear heating. The parameterP*0denotes the initial fluid pressure. We observe the slip‐weakening and slip‐strengthening behaviors in the rangesSu< −P*0andSu> −P*0, respectively, irrespective of the value ofS′u. We can understand both fast and slow fault slips comprehensively on the basis of our model. Ordinary high‐speed fault slip can be simulated withSuslightly larger than −P*0,S′unear the lower limit, andσs0∼ 100 MPa. We need the conditions ofSu≫ −P*0, sufficiently large values forS′u, and sufficiently smaller values forσs0to model much slower fault slip. Our present study also provides a model for the mechanism of negligible frictional heating on the San Andreas fault. We actually found that the temperature rise on the fault is negligibly low in the range of slip strengthening if the values ofσs0andS′uare small enough and/or the value ofSuis significantly larger than a threshold.
