Application of an inhomogeneous stress (patch) model to complex subduction zone earthquakes: A discrete interaction matrix approach [PDF]
In recent years it has been recognized that the level of shear and normal stress along a fault can vary; thus the stress is spatially and temporally inhomogeneous.

In situ stress magnitude and rock strength in the Nankai accretionary complex: a novel approach using paired constraints from downhole data in two wells [PDF]
We present a method to simultaneously constrain both far-field horizontal stress magnitudes (S hmin and S Hmax) and in situ rock unconfined compressive strength (UCS), using geophysical logging data from two boreholes located 70 m apart that access the ...

Great earthquakes have occurred repeatedly along the Nankai Trough, but only for recent events are details known, such as rupture areas and time lags between paired events.

The role of compaction contrasts in sediments in décollement initiation in an accretionary prism [PDF]
International audienceTo understand how décollements develop into the pristine sedimentary succession entering subduction zones, we have performed mechanical tests on samples from the sediment column entering the Nankai accretionary prism, Japan (ODP ...

Estimate of the contraction rate of central Japan through the deformation of the Philippine Sea slab
The Philippine Sea (PHS) slab is severely deformed beneath central Japan, but it is subject to little deformation before the subduction along the Nankai Trough.

構造研究に基づく南海トラフ(西部)地震発生帯のプレート形状および速度構造の3次元モデル [PDF]
Great interplate earthquakes have repeatedly occurred in pairs along the Nankai Trough. In order to reduce a great deal of damage to coastal area from both strong ground motion and tsunami generation, it is necessary to understand rupture synchronization

Anelastic strain recovery reveals extension across SW Japan subduction zone [PDF]
Sediment dominated convergent margins typically record substantial horizontal shortening often associated with great earthquakes. The convergent margin south of Japan is arguably one of the most extensively investigated margins and previous studies ...

Bioinspired Morphology‐Decoupled Soft Gripper with Enhanced Bidirectional Grasping Capability
Inspired by biological predation, a novel gripper decouples cross‐modal grasping via dual morphological configurations. Synergistically integrating hybrid rigid and soft coupled fingers with a metamaterial palm, the system performs active compliant grasping for static objects and passive cage capture for dynamic targets.

構造研究に基づく南海トラフ地震発生帯の3次元速度構造モデル [PDF]
Coseismic rupture area of the great interplate earthquake concerned about its occurrence along the Nankai Trough presumed by government of Japan is now wider to the west, north and south than the former assumption. Although the new estimation is based on
