Earthquake Damage Patterns Resolve Complex Rupture Processes [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2018
AbstractFracture damage patterns around faults induced by dynamic earthquake rupture are an invaluable record to clarify the rupture process on complex fault networks. The 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikōura earthquake in New Zealand has been reported as one of the most complex earthquakes ever documented that ruptured at least 15 crustal faults.

Constituent Processes and Democratic Ruptures

American Journal of Comparative Law, 2016
This paper is a review of Gerardo Pisarello’s book, Procesos Constituyentes: Caminos para la Ruptura Democratica. This book examines constitution-making as a global phenomenon, both from a historical and comparative perspective. The author of this paper proposes that a more decisive move from the descriptive to the normative would have been desirable ...

On the Rupture Process of Thin Liquid Film

Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 1993
Abstract This present work aims at researching the rupture process of thin liquid film of viscous Newtonian fluid on a horizontal plane. First, we use a numerical method to solve the nonlinear evolution equation derived by Williams and Davis. The numerical results reveal that the rupture processes can be divided into two parts; one is the slow weak ...

Rupture Process During Drop Coalescence

Fluids Engineering, 2005
During the coalescence of a drop with a planar interface, a hole is generated in a microscopic film that separates the drop from the interface. An experimental study has been performed to investigate the time dependent behavior of the radius of the hole generated during coalescence.

Atherosclerotic plaque rupture: a fatigue process?

Medical Hypotheses, 2000
The mechanism of atherosclerotic plaque rupture is not known. Current theories focus on the acute triggers of plaque rupture and myocardial infarction such as increased shear or circumferential stress, rupture of the vasa vasorum and vasospasm. We hypothesize that a critical mechanism causing plaque rupture is fatigue failure, the catastrophic rupture ...

Rupture dimensions and rupture processes of fluid-induced microcracks in salt rock

Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 2001
Abstract We developed and applied a simple empirical Green function method to study induced microcracks observed during hydraulic fracturing experiments in salt rock. Either unidirectional ruptures on rectangular faults or allround ruptures on elliptical faults are tested to explain the observed directivity effects in body-wave amplitude spectra ...

The rupture process of the 1976 Mindanao Earthquake

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1985
The large Mindanao earthquake (Mw = 8.1) of August 16, 1976, presents a complex rupture history. The epicenter of this earthquake is located at the southern end of the 160×80 km2 aftershock area, and the thrust mechanism with a shallow NE dipping plane indicates the subduction of the North Celebes Sea beneath Mindanao.
