Core Precession and Global Modes in Granular Bulk Flow [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
A transition from local to global shear zones is reported for granular flows in a modified Couette cell. The experimental geometry is a slowly rotating drum which has a stationary disc of radius R_s fixed at its bottom.

Deformation Structures From Splay and Décollement Faults in the Nankai Accretionary Prism, SW Japan(IODP NanTroSEIZE Expedition 316): Evidence for Slow and Rapid Slip in Fault Rocks

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
Drilling during IODP NanTroSEIZE Expedition 316 led to the recovery of cores from the basal décollement in the frontal part of the Nankai accretionary prism and from a splay fault branching from the décollement at 25‐km landward of the prism toe.

Effect of Spatial Variations in Floodplain Vegetation on Bed Shear Stress Distribution [PDF]

open access: yes长江科学院院报
[Objective] This study aims to investigate the effects of different vegetation arrangements (parallel and staggered) in the junction zone between channel and floodplain in urban rivers on the spatial distribution of bed shear stress, and to reveal how ...

Analysis of Failure Behavior Based on the Ring Shear Test in a Bedding Rock Landslide of the Three Gorges Reservoir

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Complex geological environment and climatic conditions lead to frequent geological disasters in the Three Gorges Reservoir area. In particular, due to the impact of reservoir impoundment, a large number of landslides have occurred, resulting in huge ...

Rate dependent shear bands in a shear transformation zone model of amorphous solids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We use Shear Transformation Zone (STZ) theory to develop a deformation map for amorphous solids as a function of the imposed shear rate and initial material preparation.

Quantitative Evaluation of Soil Structure and Strain in Three Dimensions under Shear Using X-ray Computed Tomography Image Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Imaging, 2021
The objective of this study is to quantitatively evaluate the soil structure behavior when under shear stress to understand the mechanism of shear zone formation using a micro-focus X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanner to visualize the internal samples

Magnetic buoyancy instabilities in the presence of magnetic flux pumping at the base of the solar convection zone [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We perform idealized numerical simulations of magnetic buoyancy instabilities in three dimensions, solving the equations of compressible magnetohydrodynamics in a model of the solar tachocline.

Variations in the P‐T‐t of Deformation in a Crustal‐Scale Shear Zone in Metagranite

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
Deformation in crustal‐scale shear zones occurs over a range of pressure‐temperature‐time (P‐T‐t) conditions, both because they may be vertically extensive structures that simultaneously affect material from the lower crust to the surface, and because ...

Kinematics and Vorticity in Kangmar Dome, Southern Tibet: Testing Midcrustal Channel-flow Models for the Himalaya [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Kinematic, kinematic vorticity (Wm), and deformation temperature analyses were completed to test the hypothesis that midcrustal rocks exposed in the core of the Kangmar gneiss dome, southern Tibet record ductile deformation patterns of a “frozen” segment
