Iapetus: Tectonic structure and geologic history [PDF]
Many papers have been written about the surface of Iapetus, but most of these have discussed either the nature of the strongly contrasting light and dark materials or the cratering record.

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.This study investigates the coupled thermo‐mechanical behavior of granite during heating and cooling through a combination of laboratory tests and finite element analysis. The thermal conductivity, mineral composition, mass loss rate, micro‐crack observation, and thermal fracture characteristics of granite under various temperature conditions are ...

Active tectonics of the Himalaya
Journal of Earth System Science, 1989 The Himalayan mountains are a product of the collision between India and Eurasia which began in the Eocene. In the early stage of continental collision the development of a suture zone between two colliding plates took place. The continued convergence is accommodated along the suture zone and in the back-arc region.

Quantification of rheological parameters in deep‐sea mining plumes
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.This study explores the variations in rheological properties observed during the propagation of deep‐sea mining plumes, utilizing rheological test data obtained from kaolin clay plumes. Subsequently, taking into account the differences in sediment properties, the effects of clay content and clay mineral composition on the rheological parameters of ...

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.We use the linear Boolean model and the discrete Fourier transformation approach to generate various carbonate rocks. The lattice Boltzmann method and the finite element method are applied to calculate permeability and elastic wave velocity, respectively.

Relative Uplift Rates Along the Central Mindoro Fault, Philippines
GeoHazardsThe Central Mindoro Fault (CMF) is a major active oblique, sinistral strike-slip fault within the Philippine archipelago that accommodates the oblique convergence between the Philippine Sea Plate (PSP) and the Sunda Plate (SP).

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract One of the significant challenges faced in shield tunnel construction is the risk of collapse resulting from abrupt changes in soil conditions in advance of the working face, particularly within the sandy cobble stratum. This study aims to effectively manage these sudden variations and to further investigate the failure mechanisms associated ...

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.This article aims to investigate the dynamic fracture response of fractured tunnel models under zero geological stress through physical experiments and numerical simulations. It further simulates the dynamic fracture characteristics of fractured tunnel models under geological stress ranging from 0 to 2.5 MPa using the numerical software AUTODYN ...

Late cretaceous extensional tectonics and associated igneous activity on the northern margin of the Gulf of Mexico Basin [PDF]
Major, dominantly compressional, orogenic episodes (Taconic, Acadian, Alleghenian) affected eastern North America during the Paleozoic. During the Mesozoic, in contrast, this same region was principally affected by epeirogenic and extensional tectonism ...
