An offshore zone of faulting approximately 10 km from the southern California coast connects the seismically active strike-slip Newport–Inglewood fault zone in the Los Angeles metropolitan region with the active Rose Canyon fault zone in the San Diego area. Relatively little seismicity has been recorded along the offshore Newport–Inglewood Rose Canyon fault zone, although it has long been suspe...

[1] A mismatch of elastic properties across a fault induces normal stress changes during spatially nonuniform in-plane slip. Recently, Rudnicki and Rice showed that similar effects follow from a mismatch of poroelastic properties (e.g., permeability) within fluid-saturated fringes of damaged material along the fault walls; in this case, it is pore pressure on the slip plane and hence effective ...

The northeastern boundary of the Tibetan high plateau is marked by a 2 km topographic drop and a coincident rapid change in crustal thickness. Surface tectonics are dominated by the Kunlun strike-slip fault system and adjacent Kunlun concealed thrust. The main objective of the current study is to map lateral variations of seismic anisotropy parameters in this region along the linear INDEPTH IV ...

[1] In a four and a half hour period, more than 60 events in an earthquake swarm on the western boundary of the Easter microplate were detected by an array of ocean bottom seismometers. The larger events of the swarm were strikeslip earthquakes located on two transform faults separated by about 25 km. Slip on the faults was closely coupled, with activity alternating back and forth randomly betw...

In the Gulf of California the Pacific-North America plate boundary changes character from an oceanic-type spreading center and transform fault system (to the south) to a region of diffuse continental deformation (to the north). The presence of spreading centers commonly inferred in the northernmost gulf is not supported by bathymetric, heat flow, gravity, or seismic data which indicate signific...

a doublet of earthquakes with magnitudes of 6.5 and 6.2 in mw scale (global cmt) on 2010 december 20 and 2011 january 27 respectively struck the area that lies between the nehbandan and jiroft fault systems, southeast of iran. these earthquakes occurred in correspondence of the southwestern termination of the kahourak right lateral strike slip fault. the focal mechanisms of both the mainshocks ...

Earthquakes have been recognized as resulting from a stick-slip frictional instability along the faults between deformable rocks. An arbitrarily shaped contact element strategy, named as node-to-point contact element strategy, is proposed and applied with the static-explicit characters to handle the friction contact between deformable bodies with stick and finite frictional slip and extended he...

Alborz Mountains is a region of active deformation within Arabia-Eurasia collision zone. The study fault system in western Alborz comprises abundant evidence of active faulting accompanied by occurrence of historical earthquakes. Active tectonics of Manjil-Rudbar fault zone whose movement caused destructive 1990 Manjil-Rudbar earthquake was concentrated in this article through geomorphic and st...

different methods for detecting broken bars in induction motors can be found in literature. many of these methods are based on evaluating special frequency magnitudes in machine signals spectrums. current, power, flux, etc are among these signals. frequencies related to broken rotor fault depend on slip. in industrial environment due to some phenomena - such as load oscillation, other faults an...
