Normal fault earthquakes or graviquakes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Earthquakes are dissipation of energy throughout elastic waves. Canonically is the elastic energy accumulated during the interseismic period. However, in crustal extensional settings, gravity is the main energy source for hangingwall fault collapsing ...

Rheocasting versus Die Casting: An Insight into the Low‐Cycle Fatigue Behavior of AlSi7Mg0.6

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The study compares rheocast lightweight components with high‐pressure die cast materials regarding microstructure and fatigue behavior. Rheocast process offers higher efficiency due to lower casting temperatures. Despite some microstructural differences, both processes show similar strengths (yield strength 125 MPa, tensile strength 240 MPa).

Can Ti‐Based MXenes Serve as Solid Lubricants for Brake Applications? A Tribological Study

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study explores the first implementation of Ti‐based MXenes materials in brake pad friction composite material. The resulting composite material exhibits a 48% reduction in the wear rate; alongside significant improvements are observed for thermal and mechanical properties.

The Buzet Thrust Fault in Istria and overturned carbonate megabeds in

open access: yesGeologija, 2004
Detailed geological mapping undertaken in the framework of monitoring of the motorway construction works in SW Slovenia has revealed the existence of a large-scale thrust fault between Buzet and Koper (termed the Buzet Thrust Fault) and extensive thrust ...

Focusing Fluids in Faults: Evidence From Stable Isotopic Studies of Dated Clay‐Rich Fault Gouge of the Alberta Rockies

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
Isotopic studies of Canadian Rocky Mountain thrust faults preserve the timing and identity of orogenic fluids and their fault zone pathways. Using previously dated samples, we measure the O‐ and H‐isotopic compositions of fault gouge.

Subparallel thrust and normal faulting in Albania and the roles of gravitational potential energy and rheology contrasts in mountain belts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The active tectonics of Albania and surrounding regions, on the eastern margin of the Adriatic Sea, is characterized by subparallel thrust and normal faulting which, we suggest, is likely to be related to gravitational potential energy contrasts between ...

Transfer of Energy and Momentum Between Magnetoactive Surface Microstructure and a Solid Object

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that magnetoactive multilamellar arrays subjected to a rotating magnetic field can function as platforms for controlled transport of physical objects. Through systematic experimental investigation, we elucidate the underlying physical mechanisms determining the upper limit of the achievable transportation speed in such magnetic “conveyor‐

Seismotectonic analysis of the December 2023 MS6.2 Jishishan earthquake: Insights from high-resolution DEM, aftershock relocation, and fault modeling

open access: yesGeodesy and Geodynamics
The December 18, 2023, MS6.2 Jishishan earthquake occurred along the northeastern margin of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau within the Laji–Jishi Shan Fault Zone (LJSFZ), a complex thrust-dominated tectonic belt.

Localized extension in megathrust hanging wall following great earthquakes in western Nepal

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The largest (M8+) known earthquakes in the Himalaya have ruptured the upper locked section of the Main Himalayan Thrust zone, offsetting the ground surface along the Main Frontal Thrust at the range front.

Control action of thrust fault to oil and gas accumulation in Hade block of the Fuman oilfield

open access: yesCarsologica Sinica, 2023
The Tarim Basin, renowned for its super large Ordovician marine carbonate oil and gas reservoirs, is a key area in the field of deep oil and gas exploration and development in China.
