Structural history of the southwestern corner of the Kaapvaal Craton and the adjacent Namaqua realm: new observations and a reappraisal [PDF]
, 1991 The rocks along the southwestern margin of the Kaapvaal Craton were deformed up to 7 times during the Early to Middle Proterozoic. The oldest deformation D1 is recorded in the N-S-trending Uitkoms cataclasite of pre-Makganyene age (>2.24 Ga) on the ...

Dynamic earthquake rupture preserved in a creeping serpentinite shear zone
Nature Communications, 2018 Creeping serpentinite shear zones may host large earthquakes, but direct evidence of frictional heating and rupture have been missing. Here, the authors demonstrate via laboratory experiments that earthquake ruptures can propagate through serpentinite ...

The older ultramafic rocks of Aberdeenshire, similarities to SSZ ophiolites and significance for regional tectonics [abstract] [PDF]
, 2008 It has long been known that there are at least two phases of mafic-ultramafic magmatism in NE Scotland (Read 1919), the well known Younger Gabbro suite and a lesser known ‘Older suite’.

Stability and Localization of Rapid Shear in Fluid-Saturated Fault Gouge: 1. Linearized Stability Analysis [PDF]
, 2014 Field observations of major earthquake fault zones show that shear deformation is often confined to principal slipping zones that may be of order 1–100 μm wide, located within a broader gouge layer of order 10–100 mm wide.

Local Thermal Conductivity Patterning in Rotating Lattice Crystals of Anisotropic Sb2S3
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Microscale control of thermal conductivity in Sb2S3 is demonstrated via laser‐induced rotating lattice crystals. Thermal conductivity imaging reveals marked thermal transport anisotropy, with the c axis featuring amorphous‐like transport, whereas in‐plane directions (a, b) exhibit 3.5x and 1.7x larger thermal conductivity.

Hidden spatiotemporal sequence in transition to shear band in amorphous solids
Physical Review Research, 2022 Localization of plastic flow into a narrow shear band is a fundamental and ubiquitous nonequilibrium phenomenon in amorphous solids. Because of the intrinsic entangling of three types of elementary local atomic motion—shear, dilatation, and rotation—the ...

Local yield stress statistics in model amorphous solids
, 2018 We develop and extend a method presented in [S. Patinet, D. Vandembroucq, and M. L. Falk, Phys. Rev. Lett., 117, 045501 (2016)] to compute the local yield stresses at the atomic scale in model two-dimensional Lennard-Jones glasses produced via differing ...

The bias-extension test for the analysis of in-plane shear properties of textile composite reinforcements and prepregs: a review [PDF]
, 2016 The bias-extension test is a rather simple experiment aiming to determine in-plane shear properties of textile composite reinforcements. However the mechanics during the test involves fibrous material at large shear strains and large rotations of the ...
