Earth, Planets and SpaceWhen evaluating strong ground motions and tsunamis from specified source faults, it is required that the input parameters, such as fault geometry, rake angle, and slip amount, do not deviate from those of a real earthquake.

MEVTV Workshop on Tectonic Features on Mars [PDF]
The state of knowledge of tectonic features on Mars was determined and kinematic and mechanical models were assessed for their origin. Three sessions were held: wrinkle ridges and compressional structure; strike-slip faults; and extensional structures ...

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Our study reveals that caving‐enhanced geothermal systems (C‐EGS) with adequately fractured reservoirs achieve optimal heat extraction by minimizing preferential flow paths, while conventional fracturing (F‐EGS) and pipe‐based (P‐EGS) systems suffer accelerated thermal drawdown.

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.This study examines energy evolution in rock rupture via triaxial direct shear tests, exploring the impact of confining pressure and temperature on fracture surface randomness. A novel energy‐based brittleness index is proposed, validated experimentally, and compared with existing methods for reliability and accuracy.

Surface hydration‐induced damage in tight oil‐bearing sandy conglomerate reservoirs
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.A series of techniques such as X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy‐dispersive spectroscopy, conductivity tests, and infrared thermal imaging were used. The key findings are the identification of a two‐stage surface hydration process and the elucidation of the effects of various minerals and elements on the hydration process ...

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Joint orientation significantly affects P‐wave velocity, with the highest velocity at zero‐degree angles, decreasing to 30° as the angle increases. The velocity increases slightly from 30 to 45 degrees but sharply decreases from 45 to 90 degrees. Abstract Determination of the required parameters in different science contexts using the ultrasonic wave ...

The impact of forced closure on proppant distribution of hydraulic fracturing in shale formations
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Research findings demonstrate that implementing forced closure within shale formations can remarkably mitigate proppant settlement, concurrently increasing the effective propped surface area from 29.74% to 38.68%. Abstract Forced closure is widely used in conventional oil and gas reservoirs to promote uniform proppant placement.
