Dating of the Karakorum Strike‐slip Fault
Acta Geologica Sinica - English Edition, 2001AbstractThis paper mainly discusses the timing of the Karakorum strike‐slip fault, and gives a brief introduction of its structures, offset, and deformational style. This fault strikes NNW‐SSE. Asymmetrical folds, stretching lineation, S‐C fabrics, feldspar and quartz s̀‐porphyroclasts, domino structure, shear cleavages and faults in the fault zone are

The importance of strike-slip faulting was recognized near the turn of the century, chiefly from investigations of surficial offsets associated with major earthquakes in New Zealand, Japan, and California. Extrapolation from observed horizontal displacements during single earthquakes to more abstract concepts of long-term, slow accumulation of hundreds

Radiation from a strike-slip fault
Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 1959abstract Huygens' principle for elastodynamics has been applied to the problem of the radiation resulting from the introduction of a tear fault of finite length into an otherwise homogeneous medium. The fault has the following properties: (1) it is a surface across which the normal stresses vanish; (2) it has a rectangular shape with one

Volcanism in Reverse and Strike-Slip Fault Settings
2009Traditionally volcanism is thought to require an extensional state of stress in the crust. This review examines recent relevant data demonstrating that volcanism occurs also in compressional tectonic settings associated with reverse and strike-slip faulting.

Dynamics of fault interaction: parallel strike‐slip faults
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1993We use a two‐dimensional finite difference computer program to study the effect of fault steps on dynamic ruptures. Our results indicate that a strike‐slip earthquake is unlikely to jump a fault step wider than 5 km, in correlation with field observations of moderate to great‐sized earthquakes.

Analysis of the dynamics of strike slip faulting
Journal of Geophysical Research, 1973Strike slip generated by wave motions and wave motions generated by strike slip are analyzed for vertical surface faults on which motion is opposed by a frictional shear stress, which is assumed to increase linearly with depth. The fault is a plane of discontinuity in a homogeneous, isotropic, linearly elastic half-space. The half-space is subjected to

Earthquake instability on a strike‐slip fault
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1979A strain softening model for earthquake instability on a long, vertical, strike‐slip fault is analyzed using continuously distributed screw dislocations. The fault zone constitutive law is represented by a Gaussian‐shaped friction law in which slip softening occurs beyond the peak stress.

Stress orientation responsible for formation of strike slip fault is described along with rheological controls on development of the fault. Conjugate strike slip faults are discussed with special reference to necessity of rotation of faults with progressive deformation.

Sinuosity of strike-slip fault traces
Geology, 1975A mechanical basis for the occurrence of curvature or sinuosity on strike-slip faults is postulated from finite-element simulation of an earthquake sequence on the Parkfield, California, segment of the San Andreas fault. Using discontinuity fields from measured displacements associated with the M ≅ 5.3 earthquakes of June 1966, motions along 16 km of ...

Mechanics of strike-slip faulting with friction
Journal of Geophysical Research, 1968Strike-slip is analyzed for long, shallow surface faults of arbitrary dip on which motion is opposed by a frictional shear stress, which is assumed to increase linearly with depth. Static elastic analysis is used to find surface displacements and strains and to estimate the change in elastic potential energy, the frictional dissipation, and the ...
