The creation of new fractures during an earthquake produces rock damage and contributes to the dissipation strain energy. During dynamic rupture propagation, tensile microfractures can form in process zone domains around a fault that host large transient stress. These produce fragments with wide range sizes. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we model propagation ?-quartz under conditions st...

An approach for assignment of the optimal location and tap changer adjustment related to flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiters with tap changer (TC-FLSFCL) is used in this paper by debating the reduction of fault current flowing from each device and enhancement of reliability varying with customer type in a distribution network connected with distribution generation (DG). TC-FLS...

This research aims to examine the relationship between hydrothermal alteration and mineralization (ore mineralogy) in study area geological structures deformation mechanism. The was determined based on petrographic analysis, ore mineralogy which microscopic analysis. mechanism is by paleo stress analysis using win-tensor, direction of principal joints/veins faults calculated right-dihedron meth...

an important concern in rock mechanics is non-homogeneity as joints or fault. adopting the joints as fractures, fractures are well known for their effects on the mechanical and transport properties of rock. it has been postulated that through fractured/jointed rock, mainly, the polygons turned to the shear vector (ti) are involved in the mobilization of shear resistance. consequently, in order ...

In this study, we analyze the fault and fracture network of Middle Triassic carbonate platform Lastoni di Formin (Italian Dolomites, Italy). The reconstruction deformation history is primary importance for a full comprehension present structural setting platform. huge dimensions body superb exposure its vertical cliffs gently dipping top plateau make an ideal outcrop to integrate traditional fi...

Fractures strongly influence the permeability of geologic formations, and because most fractures in subsurface are below resolution geophysical methods, predicting spatial evolution fracture networks is important for groundwater resources, oil gas production, geothermal energy. Previous researchers have established that variations lithologic mechanical properties propagation joints layered rock...

[1] Radially fractured centers (RFCs) on Venus are distinctive, 100 km long radiating systems of graben, fissures, and fractures arranged around a central topographic high. We use cycle 1 and cycle 3 Magellan images to determine the depths and wall dip angles of several large radial graben, using two different methods, at four RFCs: Becuma Mons, Didilia Corona, H’uraru Corona, and Pavlova Coron...
