Backstripping dip‐slip fault histories: apparent slip rates for the Miocene of the Vienna Basin

Terra Nova, 2002
Backstripped basement subsidence histories from both the hanging wall and the footwall blocks adjacent to synsedimentary normal faults can be used to reconstruct the sense of fault motion through time and to quantify the vertical component of fault slip.

Rate theory description of atomic stick-slip friction

Physical Review B, 2010
We assess the validity of assumptions that underpin common low-dimensional rate theory descriptions of nanoscale stick-slip friction by completely specifying harmonic transition state theory kinetic parameters from an atomistic model. The resultant kinetic model is able to reliably reproduce the temperature and velocity dependence of friction as ...

Rate and state variable friction laws: Estimation of model parameters for slip velocity dependence at coseismic slip rates

Journal of Applied Physics, 2009
In the present study plate-impact pressure-shear friction experiments are conducted to study dynamics of high-speed slip at metal-on-metal interfaces. By using a CH tool-steel/Ti–6Al–4V tribo-pair and appropriate selection of the flyer and target plate thicknesses, the experiment has been used to investigate the frictional resistance of sliding ...

Slip rate gradients along the eastern Kunlun fault

Tectonics, 2007
Whether strike‐slip fault systems in Eurasia accomplish eastward extrusion of Tibetan crust and lithosphere depends largely on the kinematics of deformation at the fault tip. Here we present new slip rate determinations using millennial‐scale geomorphic markers from sites along the easternmost segment of the Kunlun fault in north central Tibet.

Slip Induced Strain Rate Sensitivity for Superplastic Material?

Materials Science Forum, 2012
The conventional consensus has it that the magnitude of the strain rate sensitivity observed in superplastic materials is linked with grain boundary sliding. The grain boundary sliding mechanism is thought to theoretically produce a strain rate sensitivity exponent of 0.5, which is in good agreement with experimental data. The present paper argues that

Slip Rate Recognition Based on Firefly Optimization Algorithm

2017 International Conference on Sensing, Diagnostics, Prognostics, and Control (SDPC), 2017
Optimal slip rate identifier based on BP neural network has some bugs such that it is easy to fall into local minimum. In order to improve the aircraft's braking efficiency, this paper presents a new method for optimal slip rate identification based on firefly algorithm optimization.

Regional and Global Fault Slip Rates from Seismicity

Nature Physical Science, 1971
Rates of fault slip calculated from the seismicity of the world's chief seismic regions agree well with the predictions of “rigid plate tectonics”. Global fault activity seems to have decreased fivefold in the past seventy years, indicating that earthquakes are coupled on a global scale within decades.

Biomarker thermal maturity experiments at earthquake slip rates

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2018
Abstract Evidence of temperature rise is useful for identifying where within a fault zone earthquake slip has occurred, as well as some attributes of the earthquake such as energy output. Biomarker thermal maturity can elucidate structures within a fault zone that were hotter than surrounding rock, and therefore likely to have hosted earthquakes.

Slip rates and morphology of continental collision belts

Geology, 1976
The widths of the Iranian and Tibetan collision segments of the Alpine belt are found to be proportional to the local convergence rates. Both segments are plateaus, but they stand at different elevations. The simplest reason for the width-rate correlation is that both increase with distance from the poles of relative rotation of the colliding plates ...

Solid-Liquid Interface Slip as a Rate Process

ASME/STLE 2007 International Joint Tribology Conference, Parts A and B, 2007
Thin film lubrication may be significantly affected by slip at the solid-liquid interface. Slip occurs when there is a jump in the mean speed between the walls and the first layer of liquid molecules. Using molecular simulation, we show that the amount of slip is greatly affected by solvation pressure and that this dependence can be accounted for by ...
