Evaluating the Economic Response to Japan's Earthquake [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper compares the 1995 Kobe earthquake with the more recent one in Tohoku. The impact of the recent earthquake on industrial production was much larger and long-lasting than that of the 1995 earthquake.

An assessment of stress and production rate of sucker rod heat pipes in oil well pumping system

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The sucker rod pumping system is the preferred oil extraction technique. The concept about equipping the hollow vacuum space in solid sucker rods with heat pipe has been scrutinized in terms of stress and oil production evaluation. Abstract The implementation of the heat pipe concept in sucker rods for oil pumping systems negates the requirement for an

Three-dimensional resistivity structure in the Nankai Trough off Kumano inferred using marine magnetotelluric investigations

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space
Megathrust and slow earthquakes are known to occur in the area off Kumano, along the eastern part of the Nankai Trough, Japan. Pore fluids along the fault surface play an important role in earthquake occurrence, but the detailed fluid distribution ...

The damage and failure mechanism of prestatically loaded rock during medium‐strain rate cyclic impact loading

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Based on experimental results and theoretical analysis, an established rock damage accumulation model that comprehensively considers the preapplied static load, impact peak value, impact frequency, and impact times. Abstract To study the rock damage mechanism under high static loading and superimposed medium strain rate cyclic impact loading, a series ...

The Possible Observation of Slow Slip Events Prior to the Occurrence of the 1999 Chi-Chi Earthquake

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2012
Possible short-term precursors several days before the Taiwan Chi-Chi earthquake (Mw = 7.6) on 20 September 1999 were observed by examining crustal deformation that were directly integrated from broadband velocity seismograms.

Temporal variation in seismic moment release rate of slow slips inferred from deep low-frequency tremors in the Nankai subduction zone

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2020
We examined seismic moment release rates as estimated from deep low-frequency tremors at episodic tremor and slip (ETS) zones on the plate interface in the Nankai subduction zone.

Slow Slip Events and the Earthquake Cycle

open access: yes, 2021
Slow Slip Events (SSEs) represent a new type of strain release along faults, which have onlybeen recognized as a global phenomena with the growth of precision space-borne geodetic techniques.

Critical expansion points: Mechanical signs of surrounding rock instability

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study proposes the Rock Bearing‐Expansion Model (RockBEM) with critical expansion points (CEPs) to quantify post‐peak damage stages in deep‐buried rock masses via plane strain compression test (PSCT). CEP hysteresis&interval ratios reveal bearing performance dynamics and failure severity, advancing mechanistic insights into deep underground rock ...

Earthquake Moment-Area Scaling Relations and the Effect of Fault Heterogeneity on Slow to Fast Earthquake Slip [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Earthquake moment-area scaling relations play a key role in both earthquake physics studies and earthquake hazard assessment. A three-stage moment-area relation, based on advances in earthquake source inversion, is currently in use in Japan.

Exploring wave propagation behaviors in rock: A grain‐based perspective on mineral structures

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study investigates wave propagation in rock at the grain scale using a grain‐based model, revealing that mineral elastic modulus significantly influences wave attenuation while grain size and distribution have limited effects. A novel peak particle velocity attenuation prediction model is proposed and validated for grain‐scale wave propagation ...
