Persistent elastic behavior above a megathrust rupture patch: Nias island, West Sumatra [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We quantify fore-arc deformation using fossil reefs to test the assumption commonly made in seismic cycle models that anelastic deformation of the fore arc is negligible.

From Food Waste to Valorized Nanomaterials: Sustainable Green Synthesis and Biomedical Applications

open access: yesChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
Food waste‐derived biomolecules act as natural reducing and stabilizing agents for the green synthesis of functional NPs with applications in antimicrobial systems, food packaging, biomedical technologies, and environmental remediation. ABSTRACT Food waste is a global issue, with billions of tons discarded and unutilized annually, causing economic ...

Probability prediction of true‐triaxial compressive strength of intact rocks based on the improved PSO‐RVM model

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
In this work, we propose an improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm and develop an improved PSO‐relevance vector machine (RVM) model as a substitute for traditional true‐triaxial testing. The model's high prediction accuracy was validated through comparisons with two other machine learning methods and five three‐dimensional Hoek–Brown type

Tectonic blocks and suture zones of eastern Thailand: evidence from enhanced airborne geophysical analysis

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 2013
Airborne geophysical data were used to analyze the complex structures of eastern Thailand. For visual interpretation, the magnetic data were enhanced by the analytical signal, and we used reduction to the pole (RTP) and vertical derivative (VD) grid ...

Evolving force balance during incipient subduction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Nearly half of all active subduction zones initiated during the Cenozoic. All subduction zones associated with active back arc extension have initiated since the Eocene, hinting that back arc extension may be intimately associated with an interval ...

Study on the failure mechanism of the shield excavation face in the sandy cobble stratum under different buried depths

open access: yesDeep 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 ...

Tectonic interpretation of the connectivity of a multiscale fracture system in limestone [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
This paper studies the statistics and tectonism of a multiscale natural fracture system in limestone. The fracture network exhibits a self‐similar characteristic with a correlation between its power law length exponent a and fractal dimension D, i.e., a ≈

Effect of confining pressure on fracture characteristics and mineralogical behavior of tight sandstone specimens after hydraulic fracturing

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Hydraulic fracturing in tight sandstone and fracture propagation characteristics using backscattered electron‐scanning electron microscope (BSE‐SEM) images. Abstract This study focuses on hydraulic fracturing experiments conducted under triaxial conditions on tight sandstone specimens from Shivpuri district, Madhya Pradesh, India.
