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

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 ...

The Influence of Fault Geometrical Complexity on Surface Rupture Length

Geophysical Research Letters
Propagating earthquakes must overcome geometrical complexity on fault networks to grow into large, surface rupturing events. We map step‐overs, bends, gaps, splays, and strands of length scales ∼100–500 m from the surface ruptures of 31 strike‐slip ...

Rupture of an air bubble on the solid surfaces

Journal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2018
We investigate behavior of bouncing and rupturing air bubbles on solid surfaces experimentally. We focus our attention to how the hydrophilicity of the solid surface alters the rupture process.

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.

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,

Rupture of a biomembrane under dynamic surface tension [PDF]

Physical Review E, 2012
How long a fluid membrane vesicle stressed with a steady ramp of micropipette last before rupture? Or conversely, how high the surface tension should be to rupture a membrane? To answer these challenging questions we have developed a theoretical framework that allows description and reproduction of Dynamic Tension Spectroscopy (DTS) observations.

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.

Centrifugal model tests on surface deformation and setback distance of reverse faults

Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2022
The surface deformation and failure caused by movement of seismic faults is one of the difficulties in engineering field evaluation. How to reasonably avoid the co-seismic surface rupture zone is a problem that must be solved in engineering site ...

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.
