Stress buildup in the Himalaya [PDF]

, 2004
The seismic cycle on a major fault involves long periods of elastic strain and stress accumulation, driven by aseismic ductile deformation at depth, ultimately released by sudden fault slip events. Coseismic slip distributions are generally heterogeneous

Strain localization and shear band propagation in ductile materials

Frontiers in Materials, 2015
A model of a shear band as a zero-thickness nonlinear interface is proposed and tested using finite element simulations. An imperfection approach is used in this model where a shear band, that is assumed to lie in a ductile matrix material (obeying von ...

Effect of microstructural characteristics on the impact fracture behavior of cryogenic 9Ni steel

Materials Research Express, 2023
The percentage of shear fracture largely determines the service performance of 9Ni steel used in low-temperature pressure vessels. Through elemental analysis, microstructural characterization, and mechanical property tests, this study investigates why ...

Nappe tectonics in the Matomb-Hegba area, South-Central Cameroon: Implications on the tectonic evolution of the Yaoundé Group in the Central African Orogenic Belt

Geosystems and Geoenvironment
This paper documents the thrust tectonics in the Yaoundé Group using detailed field mapping and satellite imagery data. The litho-stratigraphic of the Matomb-Hegba area located W of the Pan-African Yaoundé series comprised two main metasedimentary units:

Rapid Exhumation Processes of the Gaoligong Mountain Range in the Southeastern Margin of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau Since the Late Cenozoic

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Three continent-scale ductile shear zones trending N-S are distributed in the southeast margin of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. Their tectonic deformation and exhumation histories are of great significance to understanding the orogenic processes within the ...
