Earthquake Environmental Effects of the 1992 MS7.3 Suusamyr Earthquake, Kyrgyzstan, and Their Implications for Paleo-Earthquake Studies

open access: yesGeosciences, 2019
Large pre-historical earthquakes leave traces in the geological and geomorphological record, such as primary and secondary surface ruptures and mass movements, which are the only means to estimate their magnitudes. These environmental earthquake effects (

Discussion on the latest surface ruptures near the Zhonggu village along the Selaha segment of the Xianshuihe fault zone

open access: yesDizhi lixue xuebao, 2022
The Selaha segment of the Xianshuihe fault zone was the seismogenic fault of the 2014 Kangding MS 6.3 earthquake. This segment has been considered as one of the most dangerous areas for surface rupture-induced earthquakes with a magnitude of M≥7 due to ...

Uplift and subsidence associated with the great Aceh-Andaman earthquake of 2004 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Rupture of the Sunda megathrust on 26 December 2004 produced broad regions of uplift and subsidence. We define the pivot line separating these regions as a first step in defining the lateral extent and the downdip limit of rupture during that great M_w ≈

Mechanical compression to characterize the robustness of liquid marbles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In this work, we have devised a new approach to measure the critical pressure that a liquid marble can withstand. A liquid marble is gradually squeezed under a mechanical compression applied by two parallel plates.

Rupture of fetal vessels on placental surface [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Disease in Childhood, 1971
Six placentae with subamniotic haematomata were studied and the lesions shown to be derived from ruptured varices of surface fetal veins. However, the changes in the vessel walls suggested that these fetal varices had been subjected to an increase of pressure for some time.

Deformation due to the 17 August 1999 Izmit, Turkey, earthquake measured from SPOT images [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The geometry of the ruptured areas and the coseismic slip distribution data are key to highlighting the behavior of seismic faults. This information is generally retrieved from field investigations and geodetic measurements or synthetic aperture radar ...

Surface Rupture and Geotechnical Features of The July 2, 2013 Tanah Gayo Earthquake

open access: yesIndonesian Journal on Geoscience, 2016
DOI:10.17014/ijog.3.2.95-105An assessment of surface rupture and collateral ground failures can help to evaluate the impact of future earthquakes. This paper presents the results of a field survey conducted to map the surface rupture and geotechnical ...

Three-dimensional dynamic rupture simulation with a high-order discontinuous Galerkin method on unstructured tetrahedral meshes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Accurate and efficient numerical methods to simulate dynamic earthquake rupture and wave propagation in complex media and complex fault geometries are needed to address fundamental questions in earthquake dynamics, to integrate seismic and geodetic data ...

Surface Slip Distribution and Earthquake Rupture Model of the Fuyun Fault, China, Based on High-Resolution Topographic Data

open access: yesLithosphere, 2021
The characteristics of earthquake surface ruptures, such as geometry, slip distribution, and coseismic deformation, contain important information about the earthquake rupture process, and so investigations and analyses of earthquake surface rupture have ...

Spectral-element modeling of spontaneous earthquake rupture on rate and state faults: Effect of velocity-strengthening friction at shallow depths [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We develop a spectral-element methodology (SEM) for simulating dynamic rupture on rate and state faults and use it to study how the rupture is affected by a shallow fault region of steady-state velocity-strengthening friction.
