Complex anisotropy beneath the Peruvian flat slab from frequency-dependent, multiple-phase shear wave splitting analysis [PDF]
, 2013 Flat or shallow subduction is a relatively widespread global occurrence, but the dynamics remain poorly understood. In particular, the interaction between flat slabs and the surrounding mantle flow has yet to be studied in detail.

Shear wave velocities in the Pampean flat-slab region from Rayleigh wave tomography: Implications for slab and upper mantle hydration [PDF]
, 2012 The Pampean flat-slab region, located in central Argentina and Chile between 29° and 34°S, is considered a modern analog for Laramide flat-slab subduction within western North America.

Moire quasi-bound states in the continuum [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Lett. 128 253901 (2022), 2022 The novel physics of twisted bilayer graphene has motivated extensive studies of magic-angle flat bands hosted by moir\'e structures in electronic, photonic and acoustic systems. On the other hand, bound states in the continuum (BICs) have also attracted great attention in recent years because of their potential applications in the field of designing ...

Influence of cratonic lithosphere on the formation and evolution of flat slabs : insights from 3-D time-dependent modeling. [PDF]
, 2015 Several mechanisms have been suggested for the formation of flat slabs including buoyant features on the subducting plate, trenchward motion and thermal or cratonic structure of the overriding plate.

Flat slab deformation caused by interplate suction force [PDF]
, 2015 We image the structure at the southern end of the Peruvian flat subduction zone, using receiver function and surface wave methods. The Nazca slab subducts to ~100 km depth and then remains flat for ~300 km distance before it resumes the dipping ...

Development of Flat Slab – Column Interaction with Different Thickness
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2017 Flat slab – column connection has received much attention in recent years due to its simplicity of construction where beam is not required to support the slab.

Nature Communications, 2017 How flat slabs at subduction zones are created remains unclear. Here, the authors show that the Nazca slab has retreated at ∼2 cm per year since 50 Ma but no rollback has occurred in the last ∼12 Myr in the flat slab, implying that an overpressured sub ...

Proposed structural system for mixed hollow flat slab
Water Science, 2022 The economic design of the slabs is the most influential on the construction cost and choosing the appropriate system is the key to the slabs optimal design, and there are many systems that have been developed recently to reach the most economical design.
