Abstract We propose a conceptual geological model for the collision of multiple basement topographic highs (BTHs; e.g., seamounts, ridges, and horsts) with forearc accretionary wedge. Even though there are many BTHs on an oceanic plate, few examples modeling BTHs. conducted numerical simulations using discrete element method to examine effects three BTH collisions forearcs. The typical structur...

S U M M A R Y In this paper we present a global model (GSRM-1) of both horizontal velocities on the Earth’s surface and horizontal strain rates for almost all deforming plate boundary zones. A model strain rate field is obtained jointly with a global velocity field in the process of solving for a global velocity gradient tensor field. In our model we perform a least-squares fit between model ve...

in recent research on modelling road collisions very little attention has been paid  to rear-end chain reaction collisions, which is characterized by more than two vehicles involved in a collision at the same time. the core aim of the present research is to develop a methodology to estimate such potential collision probabilities based on a proactive perspective, where deceleration rate to avoid...

the effect of a distributed patch mass on the natural frequency of vibration of a laminated rectangular plate with simply supported boundaries is investigated. the third order displacement field of a composite laminated rectangular plate is defined using the two variable refined plate theory. equations of motion of the plate are obtained with the help of calculus of variation. parametric study ...

Plate reconstruction studies show that the Neotethys Ocean was closing due to convergence of Africa and Eurasia toward end Cretaceous. The period around 75 Ma reflects onset continental collision between two plates as continued be taken up mostly by subduction slab beneath Eurasia. Owen transform plate boundary in northeast accommodated fast northward motion Indian relative African plate. rest ...
