[1] On Venus a 1000-km-long, 50to 200-km-wide, anastomosing shear zone system (Thetis Boundary Shear Zone (TBSZ)) separates the eastern Ovda and northwestern Thetis Regiones. Previous workers mapped a part of this shear zone and interpreted it as a sinistral strike-slip shear zone containing an extensional jog. In the present study it is reexamined for a detailed structural and kinematic analys...

We derive in algebraic form the displacement and stress fields produced by a triangular element of constant slip by superposing the solution of Comninou and Dundurs (1975) for an angular dislocation in an elastic half-space. Triangular elements are more flexible for simulating complex geometries than the rectangular elements widely used for modeling slip zones as a superposition of constant sli...

in this paper, bam postseismic deformations during 7 years after earthquake have been extracted using persistent scatterer interferometry technique. the time series are inverted for the afterslip distribution on an extension of the coseismic rupture. the estimated postseismic slip value is 20.45±0.38 cm. most of the postseismic displacement field can be explained in terms of fault slip. the res...

Injection molding is a manufacturing process for producing parts from both thermoplastic and thermosetting plastic materials. When the material is in contact with the mold wall surface, one has three choices: i no slip which implies that thematerial sticks to the surface ii partial slip, and iii complete slip 1–5 . Navier 6 in 1827 first proposed a partial slip condition for rough surfaces, rel...

By integrating eeects of microscopic interactions between statisticaly self-similar fault surfaces, we succeeded in deriving a slip-and time-dependent fault constitutive law that rationally uniies the slip-dependent law and the rate-and state-dependent law (Aochi and Matsu'ura, 199881]). In this con-stitutive law the slip-weakening results from the abrasion of surface asperities that proceeds i...
