Study on elasto-plastic zoning radius and failure characteristics of layered rock with a single hole under impact loading [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports
The zonal rupture phenomenon of surrounding rock in deep mining roadways is a complex nonlinear damage phenomenon, which poses a serious threat to the safety of roadway support.

Gel rupture during dynamic swelling

open access: yesSoft Matter, 2021
A complex, three-stage fracture process is described for hydrogels, resulting in material failure. This process is markedly different than that observed in brittle materials, and we describe how this process varies with network architecture.

Uncertainty quantification of dynamic earthquake rupture simulations [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2021
We present a tutorial demonstration using a surrogate-model based uncertainty quantification (UQ) approach to study dynamic earthquake rupture on a rough fault surface. The UQ approach performs model calibration where we choose simulation points, fit and validate an approximate surrogate model or emulator, and then examine the input space to see which ...

Asymmetric Topography Causes Normal Stress Perturbations at the Rupture Front: The Case of the Cajon Pass

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2021
We use 3D dynamic rupture simulations to discover a previously un‐described effect of asymmetric topography on the earthquake process. With the Cajon Pass along the San Andreas Fault as an example, we find that asymmetric topography generates an ...

The Dynamics of Elongated Earthquake Ruptures [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2019
AbstractThe largest earthquakes propagate laterally after saturating the fault's seismogenic width and reach large length‐to‐width ratiosL/W. Smaller earthquakes can also develop elongated ruptures due to confinement by heterogeneities of initial stresses or material properties. The energetics of such elongated ruptures is radically different from that

The Dynamics of Unlikely Slip: 3D Modeling of Low‐Angle Normal Fault Rupture at the Mai'iu Fault, Papua New Guinea

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
Despite decades‐long debate over the mechanics of low‐angle normal faults (LANFs) dipping less than 30°, many questions about their strength, stress, and slip remain unresolved.

Dynamic nucleation as a cascade-up of earthquakes depending on rupture propagation velocity

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2023
Earthquake dynamic rupture requires a nucleation process to provide sufficient energy to overcome the fracture energy. Large earthquakes may occur via a cascading rupture process, which includes many triggering processes that cascade from small to large ...

Rupture-dependent breakdown energy in fault models with thermo-hydro-mechanical processes [PDF]

open access: yesSolid Earth, 2020
Substantial insight into earthquake source processes has resulted from considering frictional ruptures analogous to cohesive-zone shear cracks from fracture mechanics.

Single-Molecule Rupture Dynamics on Multidimensional Landscapes [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2010
We explore emergent effects of multidimensionality of the free energy landscape on single-molecule kinetics under constant force. The proposed minimal model reveals the existence of a spectrum of unusual scenarios for the force-dependent lifetime, all of which are shown to occur on a free energy landscape with a single transition state.
