Estimation of the Rupture History of the 2008 Mw8.0 Wenchuan Earthquake by Joint Inversion of Teleseismic and Strong-Motion Records

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2020
In order to reproduce the rupture history of the 2008 Mw8.0 Wenchuan earthquake, the teleseismic and strong-motion records are adopted. Based on a multiple-segment, variable-slip model, the finite fault inversion method is utilized to recover the rupture

Research on the Ability of Geodetic Records to Explain the Slip Distribution of Wenchuan, China, Earthquake

open access: yesGeofluids, 2022
We establish a reasonable 3D complex fault model. The Global Positioning System (GPS) data is adopted to reproduce the slip distribution of the 2008 Mw7.9 Wenchuan earthquake.

Neotectonics of the Western Suleiman Fold Belt, Pakistan: Evidence for Bookshelf Faulting

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
The Suleiman Fold-Thrust Belt represents an active deformational front at the western margin of the Indian plate and has been a locus of major earthquakes.

Bridge-Pier Caisson foundations subjected to normal and thrust faulting:physical experiments versus numerical analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Surface fault ruptures can inflict serious damage to engineering structures built on or near them. In the earthquakes of Kocaeli, Chi-chi, and Wenchuan a number of bridges were crossed by the emerging normal or thrust faults suffering various degrees of ...

Porosity and Compaction State at the Active Pāpaku Thrust Fault in the Frontal Accretionary Wedge of the North Hikurangi Margin

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
Characterization of the porosity evolution across the sedimentary section entering subduction zones and accreted sediments provide valuable information for understanding the deformation history at accretionary margins and the physico‐chemical processes ...

2001 Bhuj-Kachchh earthquake: surface faulting and its relation with neotectonics and regional structures, Gujarat, Western India

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 2003
Primary and secondary surface deformation related to the 2001 Bhuj-Kachchh earthquake suggests that thrusting movement took place along an E-W fault near the western extension of the South Wagad Fault, a synthetic fault of the Kachchh Mainland ...

Asymmetrical Microfracture Density Across an Active Thrust Fault: Evidence from the Longmen Shan Fault, Eastern Tibet [PDF]

open access: yesLithosphere
Microfracture density in fault damage zones can reflect spatial variability that decays in intensity as a function of distance from the fault, which is crucial in understanding the mechanical, seismological, and fluid-flow properties of the fault system.

Autonomous Attitude Reconstruction Analysis for Propulsion System with Typical Thrust Drop Fault

open access: yesAerospace, 2022
The propulsion system is one of the important and vulnerable sub-systems in a strap-on launch vehicle. Among different failure modes, the thrust drop fault is the most common and remediable one. It degrades vehicle attitude tracking ability directly.

Attitude Tracking Control Reconfiguration for Space Launch Vehicle With Thrust Loss Fault

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
The thrust loss fault of the space launch vehicle is quite different from that of ordinary actuator efficiency loss. Focusing on the attitude tracking control problem of the launch vehicle with thrust loss fault, the special impacts of that fault on the ...

Width of surface rupture zone for thrust earthquakes: implications for earthquake fault zoning [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2018
The criteria for zoning the surface fault rupture hazard (SFRH) along thrust faults are defined by analysing the characteristics of the areas of coseismic surface faulting in thrust earthquakes.
