Understanding ductile-to-brittle transition of metallic glasses from shear transformation zone dilatation

open access: yesTheoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2015
A theoretical model that takes into account the free-volume aided cooperative shearing of shear transformation zones (STZs) is developed to quantitatively understand the ductile-to-brittle transition (DBT) of metallic glasses. The STZ dilatational strain

Deep Ductile Shear Zone Facilitates Near‐Orthogonal Strike‐Slip Faulting in a Thin Brittle Lithosphere

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2021
Some active fault systems comprise near‐orthogonal conjugate strike‐slip faults, as highlighted by the 2019 Ridgecrest and the 2012 Indian Ocean earthquake sequences.

Constraining the Timing of Evolution of Shear Zones in Two Collisional Orogens: Fusing Structural Geology and Geochronology

open access: yesGeosciences, 2022
In recent decades, constraining the timing of shear activity has been one of the main topics of research about the tectono-metamorphic evolution of orogenic belts.

Geodetic displacements and aftershocks following the 2001 M_w = 8.4 Peru earthquake: Implications for the mechanics of the earthquake cycle along subduction zones [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We analyzed aftershocks and postseismic deformation recorded by the continuous GPS station AREQ following the M_w = 8.4, 23 June 2001 Peru earthquake. This station moved by 50 cm trenchward, in a N235°E direction during the coseismic phase, and continued

Deformation and magnetic fabrics in ductile shear zones: A review [PDF]

open access: yesTectonophysics, 2014
Abstract The Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility (AMS) is a well-established petrofabric tool for indicating relative strain and microstructural character and has been validated on various rock types and different structural settings. The magnetic susceptibility of a rock (K) depends primarily on the nature and abundance of magnetic minerals.

Numerical Modeling of Tank Cars Carrying Hazardous Materials With and Without Composite Metal Foam

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Large‐scale puncture models consisting of hazardous materials (HAZMATs) tank car with protective steel–steel composite metal foam (S–S CMF) are solved numerically. Tank car plate with added 10.91–13.33 mm thick S–S CMF layer does not puncture. Protective S–S CMF absorbs impact energy, reduces plate deformation, and prevents shear bands formation ...

Insights on high-grade deformation in quartzo-feldspathic gneisses during the early Variscan exhumation of the Cabo Ortegal nappe, NW Iberia [PDF]

open access: yesSolid Earth, 2016
High-grade, highly deformed gneisses crop out continuously along the Masanteo peninsula and constitute the upper part of the lower crustal section in the Cabo Ortegal nappe (NW Spain).

Postseismic deformation and the strength of ductile shear zones [PDF]

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2014
A good understanding of the rheology and strength of the whole crust is needed to obtain a physics-based earthquake prediction models. However, geodynamics-based and laboratory-based strength estimates disagree. Geodynamics tend to indicate that the actual strength of the plastic crust is less than deduced from laboratory experiments.

Additive Manufacturing of Continuous Fibre Reinforced Composites: Process, Characterisation, Modelling, and Sustainability

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Additive manufacturing provides precise control over the placement of continuous fibres within polymer matrices, enabling customised mechanical performance in composite components. This article explores processing strategies, mechanical testing, and modelling approaches for additive manufactured continuous fibre‐reinforced composites.

Description and hierarchy of ductile deformation events in the Camalaú region, state of Paraíba, central portion of the Alto Moxotó Terrane, Borborema Province, Brazil

open access: yesJournal of the Geological Survey of Brazil, 2020
The Borborema Province (NE Brazil) has a long history of deformation, magmatism, and metamorphism during the Precambrian Eon. Thus, it represents a natural laboratory to investigate widely developed ductile-deformation markers, such as major fold belts ...
