The Mechanics of Oblique Slip Faulting

Geological Magazine, 1959
SummaryThe various mechanisms which could cause oblique slip faulting are briefly reviewed. It is thought that such faulting may frequently arise from the existence of preferred planes of fracture within the rocks. The dynamics of this mechanism is studied in some detail and an expression is obtained for the first direction of slip within the plane ...

Modeling of fault slip in earthquakes

Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics, 2001
The total energy release and the length of interfacial crack growth associated with an earthquake are analyzed based on a horizontal one-dimensional semi-infinite elastic model of fault of uniform rectangular cross section between two rigid rocks. Initial interfacial cracks of finite length are assumed to exist on the top and bottom surfaces of the ...

Dynamic triggering of fault slip

2000
Earthquakes and rock bursts belong to those natural phenomena which pose a great threat to mankind and they have been associated with mythicism for a long time. In fact, even today with all the computer capabilities man has at his/her disposal there are more questions to be asked than satisfying answers available.

Slip, Reactivation and Termination of Faults

2000
In this chapter we explore in detail the displacement on faults: Section 7.1 surveys the parameters that affect the displacement distribution on a fault, and presents the Walsh—Watterson model of the growth and displacement distribution of ‘blind’ faults. Section 7.2 examines how the near-tip stresses determine the modes of fault propagation
