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.

Remote Sensing, 2023 On 8 January 2022, a seismic event of significant magnitude (Mw 6.7, Ms 6.9) occurred in the northeastern region of the Tibetan Plateau. This earthquake was characterized by left-lateral strike-slip motion, accompanied by a minor reverse movement.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 A fundamental topic in earthquake studies is understanding the extent to which fault rupture at the surface is localized on primary fault strands as opposed to distributed tens to hundreds of meters away from primary ruptures through off‐fault ...

Predictive Simulation for Surface Fault Occurrence Using High-Performance Computing
GeoHazards, 2022 Numerical simulations based on continuum mechanics are promising methods for the estimation of surface fault displacements. We developed a parallel finite element method program to perform such simulations and applied the program to reproduce the 2016 ...

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 The 1714 Bhutan earthquake was one of the largest in the Himalaya in the last millennium. We show that the surface rupture caused by this earthquake extended further to the east than previously known, it was at least 175 km long, with slip exceeding 11 m

Surface rupture in stochastic slip models [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 2020 SUMMARYAs an alternative to spectral methods, stochastic self-similar slip can be produced through a composite source model by placing a power-law scaling size-frequency distribution of circular slip dislocations on a fault surface. However these models do not accurately account for observed surface rupture behaviour.

The Ar-Hötöl surface rupture along the Khovd fault (Mongolian Altay)
Journal of Maps, 2023 We present a 1:200,000 scale map of the Ar-Hötöl surface rupture along the Khovd fault (Mongolian Altay), presumed to be the expression of the 1761 CE Mw ∼ 7.8 Great Mongol earthquake.

Bridge-Pier Caisson foundations subjected to normal and thrust faulting:physical experiments versus numerical analysis [PDF]
, 2015 Surface fault ruptures can inflict serious damage to engineering structures built on or near them. In the earthquakes of Kocaeli, Chi-chi, and Wenchuan a number of bridges were crossed by the emerging normal or thrust faults suffering various degrees of ...
