Structural features and evolution of the multi-stage tectonic deformation in the southwestern Tarim Basin (China): insights from discrete numerical simulations

Frontiers in Earth Science
The southwestern Tarim Basin records a complex Mesozoic–Cenozoic polyphase tectonic evolution characterized by three distinct stages: Late Triassic compression, Jurassic–Late Cretaceous extension, and Miocene–present compression.

Testing fluvial erosion models using the transient response of bedrock rivers to tectonic forcing in the Apennines, Italy [PDF]

, 2011
The transient response of bedrock rivers to a drop in base level can be used to discriminate between competing fluvial erosion models. However, some recent studies of bedrock erosion conclude that transient river long profiles can be approximately ...

Review and prospects of shear test of bolted rock joints

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The laboratory shear test equipment, test method, and numerical simulation of bolted rock joints were summarized. The shortcomings and limitations of the current research were analyzed, and the research prospects were proposed. Abstract Rock bolting is a critical approach in geotechnical engineering for supporting weak rocks.

Structural evolution of the Tenggol Arch and its implication for basement fracture patterns in the Malay Basin, Malaysia [PDF]

, 2008
The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the hydrocarbon potential of the Tenggol Arch, a basement high that forms part of the western margin of the Malay Basin, offshore peninsular Malaysia. Fractured crystalline basement rocks in this area have previously

Shear behavior of bolt–grout interfaces under constant normal stiffness: Influence of grout strength and thickness

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The effects of grout strength and thickness on the shear behavior of bolt–grout interfaces (BGI) under constant normal stiffness conditions are investigated. Shear strength, failure modes, and acoustic emission characteristics are examined. The findings reveal that grout strength exerts a significantly greater influence on BGI shear strength and ...

Neogene paleomagnetism and geodynamics of the Hikurangi margin, East Coast, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2006
Vertical-axis rotations are an important component of Neogene deformation in the New Zealand plate boundary region, and potentially offer fundamental insights into the rheology of continental crust.

Tectonic evolution of the Corinth Rift

, 2008
The evolution of extensional processes at continental rift zones provides important constraints on the underlying lithospheric deformation mechanisms, level of seismic hazard and location of likely hydrocarbon traps. The Corinth rift in central Greece is

Generalized Matsuoka–Nakai criterion considering hydrostatic pressure dependence in the brittle–ductile region

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Three sets of strength data were selected, including hydrostatic pressure independent within the brittle region (HPI‐B), hydrostatic pressure dependent within the brittle region (HPD‐B), and hydrostatic pressure dependent within the brittle–ductile region (HPD‐BD). For HPI type, the failure envelope within the deviatoric plane remains constant.
