Numerical Models of Translational Landslide Rupture Surface Growth

Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2000
We analyze the initiation and enlargement of the rupture surface of translational landslides as a fracture phenomenon using a two-dimensional boundary-element method. Both processes are governed largely by the stress field and the pre-existing planes of weakness in a slope. Near the ground surface, the most compressive stress becomes either parallel or

Rupture and Reformation of Ultra-Thin Surface Films

Volume 4: 12th International Conference on Advanced Vehicle and Tire Technologies; 4th International Conference on Micro- and Nanosystems, 2010
In lubricated contact conjunctions film ruptures close to the exit boundary. This significantly affects the load carrying capacity and can lead to direct surface interactions. Nano-scale films (several molecular diameters of the lubricant) are no exception, a fact that has been observed using ellipsometry studies for ultra-thin film conjunctions ...

Rupture Surfaces in Sand Under Oblique Loads

Journal of the Soil Mechanics and Foundations Division, 1956
Results obtained from experimental research in psomma-mechanics from 1939 to 1942; study deals with shape of shearing or rupture surface in dry sand soil caused by obliquely loaded foundation model.

Experimental Investigation of Surface Fault Rupture Hazard Mitigation

2013
Ground differential movements due to faulting have caused damage to engineered structures and facilities in strong Earthquakes. Although surface fault rupture is not a new problem, there are only a few potential mitigation schemes in the world containing some types of provisions for reducing the risks. Fault setbacks or avoidance of construction in the
