Sub‐slab anisotropy beneath the Sumatra and circum‐Pacific subduction zones from source‐side shear wave splitting observations

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2014
Understanding the dynamics of subduction is critical to our overall understanding of plate tectonics and the solid Earth system. Observations of seismic anisotropy can yield constraints on deformation patterns in the mantle surrounding subducting slabs ...

Transient and steady-state shear banding in a lamellar phase as studied by Rheo-NMR [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Flow fields and shear-induced structures in the lamellar (L-alpha) phase of the system triethylene glycol mono n-decyl ether (C10E3)/water were investigated by NMR velocimetry, diffusometry, and H-2 NMR spectroscopy. The transformation from multilamellar

OCTOID: A Soft Robotic System Featuring Programmable Shape Morphing and Dynamic Structural Coloration

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by octopuses, actuating legs based on soft materials are fabricated with programmed chiroptical properties and mechanical behaviors to achieve dynamic color modulation and reversible shape morphing, and these legs are developed into a modular OCTOID system.

Tectonic Inheritance During Plate Boundary Evolution in Southern California Constrained From Seismic Anisotropy

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
The style of convective force transmission to plates and strain‐localization within and underneath plate boundaries remain debated. To address some of the related issues, we analyze a range of deformation indicators in southern California from the ...

Crustal seismic anisotropy of the Northeastern Tibetan Plateau and the adjacent areas from shear-wave splitting measurements

open access: yes, 2020
The Northeastern Tibetan Plateau has thickened crust and is still undergoing strong active crustal shortening and deformation. Crustal anisotropy can provide clues to how the crust is currently deforming and evolving.
