Plasticity and geophysical flows: A review [PDF]

open access: yes
The objective of this review is to examine how the concept of plasticity is used in geophysical fluid dynamics. Rapid mass movements such as snow avalanches or debris flows involve slurries of solid particles (ice, boulder, clay, etc.) within an ...

Frictional Contacts Between Rough Grains With Fractal Morphology

open access: yes
Surface morphology plays a crucial role in friction between two contacting geomaterial surfaces, yet many questions remain unanswered regarding how detailed frictional responses deviate from analytical solutions for smooth surfaces due to the presence of

Energy Radiation from a Multi-Story Building [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Damping limits the resonance of vibrating systems and thus higher anelastic damping is generally favored for engineered structures subjected to earthquake motions, because it means that a structure can dissipate a larger percentage of its energy per ...

Joint seismic/electrical effective medium modelling of hydrate-bearing marine sediments and an application to the Vancouver Island margin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Remote determination of the hydrate content of marine sediments remains a challenging problem.In the absence of boreholes, the most commonly used approach involves the measurement of Pwavevelocities from seismic experiments.

Earthquakes of the Nepal Himalaya : Towards a Physical Model of the Seismic Cycle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Home to hundreds of millions of souls and land of excessiveness, the Himalaya is also the locus of a unique seismicity whose scope and peculiarities still remain to this day somewhat mysterious.

The Brittle-Ductile Transition in Porous Limestone [Elektronisk resurs] : Failure Mode, Constitutive Modeling of Inelastic Deformation and Strain Localization

open access: yes, 2021
Understanding of the mechanics of the brittle-ductile transition (BDT) in porous limestone is significantly more challenging than for sandstone because of the lack of consistent acoustic emission activity in limestone, meaning that one must rely on ...

On the evolution of elastic properties during laboratory stick-slip experiments spanning the transition from slow slip to dynamic rupture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The physical mechanisms governing slow earthquakes remain unknown, as does the relationship between slow and regular earthquakes. To investigate the mechanism(s) of slow earthquakes and related quasi-dynamic modes of fault slip we performed laboratory ...
