Off-fault damage controls near-surface rupture behaviour in soft sediments [PDF]

Nature Communications
Surface-rupturing faults represent some of the most devastating examples of earthquake-related hazards. Near surface rupture behaviour is poorly understood, due to limited information concerning the amount of off-fault energy dissipated in a volume ...

Strain Threshold for the Formation of Coseismic Surface Rupture

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
The 2021 Mw 7.4 Maduo earthquake (eastern Tibetan Plateau), with a surface deformation zone that is characterized by multiple distinct surface rupture segments separated by segments with no surface ruptures, provides an excellent opportunity to constrain

Mature fault mechanics revealed by the highly efficient 2025 Mandalay earthquake [PDF]

Nature Communications
Understanding the causes of variability in earthquake rupture characteristics, particularly the distribution of shallow slip and the extent of off-fault deformation, is crucial for refining seismic hazard models and understanding fundamental rupture ...

Geological and geomorphological evidence of holocene activity along the maisu fault in the northern Sichuan–Yunnan block, Tibetan Plateau

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The Sichuan–Yunnan block is located in the eastern of Tibetan Plateau and exhibits strong tectonic and earthquake activity. The Maisu fault is an E–W-trending fault within this block.

Combined On-Fault and Off-Fault Paleoseismic Evidence in the Postglacial Infill of the Inner-Alpine Lake Achensee (Austria, Eastern Alps)

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
The Eastern European Alps are characterized by slow active deformation with low- to moderate seismicity. Recurrence rates of severe earthquakes exceed the time span of historical documentation.

Biomimetic Nanopillar Silicon Surfaces Rupture Fungal Spores

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
The mechano-bactericidal action of nanostructured surfaces is well-documented; however, synthetic nanostructured surfaces have not yet been explored for their antifungal properties toward filamentous fungal species. In this study, we developed a biomimetic nanostructured surface inspired by dragonfly wings. A high-aspect-ratio nanopillar topography was

Dynamics of liquid nano-threads : fluctuation-driven instability and rupture [PDF]

, 2020
The instability and rupture of nanoscale liquid threads is shown to strongly depend on thermal fluctuations. These fluctuations are naturally occurring within molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and can be incorporated via fluctuating hydrodynamics into ...

Double rupture event in the Tianshan Mountains: A case study of the 2021 Mw 5.3 Baicheng earthquake, NW China

Open Geosciences, 2022
On March 23, 2021 (21:14 universal time coordinated), an Mw 5.3 earthquake occurred in Baicheng County in Xinjiang, northwestern China, according to the United States Geological Survey. The earthquake produced a 4-km-long surface rupture at the epicenter,

Impacts of Water and Stress Transfers from Ground Surface on the Shallow Earthquake of 11 November 2019 at Le Teil (France)

Remote Sensing, 2023
The 4.9 Mw earthquake of 11 November 2019 at Le Teil (France) occurred at a very shallow depth (about 1 km), inducing the surface rupture of La Rouvière fault.
