The fracture energy of ruptures driven by flash heating [PDF]
, 2017 We present a model for dynamic weakening of faults based on local flash heating at microscopic asperity contacts coupled to bulk heating at macroscopic scale. We estimate the fracture energy G associated with that rheology and find that for constant slip

Regional Adjustments to NGA‐West2 Ground‐Motion Models for Turkey
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper presents a ground‐motion model updating (GMMU) framework to adjust NGA‐West2 models for predicting a set of intensity measures in Turkey, including peak ground acceleration (PGA), peak ground velocity (PGV), and pseudo‐spectral acceleration (PSA) at periods ranging from 0.01 to 10 s. The GMMU framework integrates bias identification

Combined creep and plastic analysis with numerical methods [PDF]
, 2013 The combination of plastic and creep analysis formulation are developed in this paper. The boundary element method and the finite element method are applied in plates in order to do the numerical analysis.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract The flux of solar system meteoroids is dominated by objects less than 1 mm in diameter whose impact effects play a major role in the space weathering of airless body surfaces. These effects remain poorly characterized with respect to their dependence on the range of impact speeds for meteoroids across the inner solar system.

Energy partitioning during an earthquake [PDF]
, 2006 We investigate the partitioning of energy released during an earthquake to radiated, fracture and thermal energies in an attempt to link various observational results obtained in different disciplines.

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 1430-1450, 25 February 2026.ABSTRACT This study investigates the bearing capacity of tension piles and pile‐soil interaction during loading. Discrepancies between predicted and measured bearing capacities in previous tests motivated the study, where analytical methods showed considerable scatter and uncertainties in design.

Stress wave attenuation in shock-damaged rock [PDF]
, 1996 The velocity and attenuation of ultrasonic stress waves in gabbroic rock samples (San Marcos, California) subjected to shock loading in the 2 GPa range were studied.

Brittle and Crystal‐Plastic Defect Dynamics of Calcite Single Crystals
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract The response of Earth materials to stress has a first‐order control on solid‐Earth dynamics ranging from earthquakes to volcanic eruptions to landslides. Thus, understanding the rheological behavior of minerals, preferentially at a micro‐scale to allow process‐based upscaling, has broad applications across the Earth sciences.

Fracture Strength of Disordered Media: Universality, Interactions, and Tail Asymptotics [PDF]
, 2011 We study the asymptotic properties of fracture strength distributions of disordered elastic media by a combination of renormalization group, extreme value theory, and numerical simulation.
