Reply to comment on " Fault zone strength and failure criteria "
I thankLockner et al. [this issue], hereafter referred to as LBS, for their interest in this work. LBS suggest that I [Marone, 1995] misunderstood their analysis and that their proposed empirical relation is indeed valid. I do not agree. I do not deny that LBS have established some form of empirical relationship, only the specific form of the relation and its theoretical basis are at issue. The...
متن کاملFault zone strength and failure criteria
This paper discusses Coulomb failure criteria for brittle deformation of intact rock and fault gouge. Data are presented from laboratory experiments designed to identify the critical gouge layer thickness required to effect a transition from the standard Coulomb criterion to a modified failure law (referred to as Coulomb plasticity) appropriate for simple shear of a gouge layer. Experiments wer...
متن کاملFailure Investigation of Hydrogen Blistering on Low-strength Carbon Steel
The current study assesses the root causes of hydrogen blisters on low strength carbon steel equipment. For this purpose, some experiments including hardness test, non-destructive test (NDT), metallography, and fractograpghy are conducted. The microstructure of two blisters is assessed by means of optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The microstructural studies show that t...
متن کاملNumerical Prediction of Bearing Strength on Composite Bolted Joint Using Three Dimensional Puck Failure Criteria
Mechanical fasteners especially bolting is commonly used in joining carbon-fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite structures due to their good joinability and easy for maintenance characteristics. Since this approach involves with notching, a proper progressive damage model (PDM) need to be implemented and verified to capture existence of damages in the structure. A three dimensional (3D) fa...
متن کاملThe role of fault zone fabric and lithification state on frictional strength, constitutive behavior, and deformation microstructure
[1] We examine the frictional behavior of a range of lithified rocks used as analogs for fault rocks, cataclasites and ultracataclasites at seismogenic depths and compare them with gouge powders commonly used in experimental studies of faults. At normal stresses of ∼50 MPa, the frictional strength of lithified, isotropic hard rocks is generally higher than their powdered equivalents, whereas fo...
