Granular Shear Flow in Varying Gravitational Environments [PDF]
Granular Matter (2013), Volume 15, Pages 129-137, 2013 Despite their very low surface gravities, asteroids exhibit a number of different geological processes involving granular matter. Understanding the response of this granular material subject to external forces in microgravity conditions is vital to the design of a successful asteroid sub-surface sampling mechanism, and in the interpretation of the ...

Strain Localization: Analog Modeling and Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023 The majority of the strain in Earth crust and upper mantle is localized to the high strain zones developed at ductile‐to‐brittle condition at kilometer‐to‐micrometer scale.

Microscopic dynamics and failure precursors of a gel under mechanical load [PDF]
PNAS 115, 3587 (2018), 2018 Material failure is ubiquitous, with implications from geology to everyday life and material science. It often involves sudden, unpredictable events, with little or no macroscopically detectable precursors. A deeper understanding of the microscopic mechanisms eventually leading to failure is clearly required, but experiments remain scarce.

Soil classification in a seismically active environment based on join analysis of seismic parameters [PDF]
Global Journal of Environmental Science and Management, 2022 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Soil or rock properties where buildings are situated play an important role in the ground shaking caused by an earthquake. The highly populated Banda Aceh city in the northernmost Sumatra is flanked by two active faults, the ...

Off-fault tensile cracks: A link between geological fault observations, lab experiments, and dynamic rupture models [PDF]
, 2012 We examine the local nature of the dynamic stress field in the vicinity of the tip of a semi-infinite sub-Rayleigh (slower than the Rayleigh wave speed, c_R) mode II crack with a velocity-weakening cohesive zone. We constrain the model using results from
