For the study of driving forces behind fault activation and its influencing factors on barrier effect rock mass movement under influence mining, discrete element numerical simulation software 3DEC was used for analysis impact distance to mining area from fault, buried depth upper boundary dip angle size thickness zone respectively. The results show that areas are closer as distances decrease, b...

[1] Mechanical models examine deformation within eight different structural cross sections proposed by Davis et al. [1989] and Shaw and Suppe [1996] along a northeastsouthwest transect across the Los Angeles Basin, California. Horizontal contraction of the models, constrained by geodetic measurements, yields varying dip-slip rates along frictionally sliding faults within the different cross sec...

kuhbanan fault is in southeast margin of micro continent of iran between tabas and yazd blocks. it directed from northwest of kerman to northwest of bahabad east of bafgh (yazd). its length is about 300 km and its overall direction in iran is in southeast – northwest. this fault has caused many historical deadly earthquake and is recently more active at its southeast part near zarand city. the ...

A sequence of earthquakes occurred on March 3rd and 4th in Northern Thessaly, northern Greece, associated with previously unknown, blind normal faults within the crystalline Palaeozoic basement Pelagonian geotectonic zone. Surficial ground deformation, such as liquefaction phenomena fluvial plains, well soil fissures rock falls, have been mapped. Geological indications unmapped seismic fault, i...

SUMMARY Historical and instrumental earthquake catalogs in low strain rate regions are not necessarily indicative of the long-term spatio-temporal distribution seismicity. This implies that probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) should also consider geologic geodetic data through fault-based seismogenic sources. However, it is always clear how on-fault magnitude-frequency distributions (M...

[1] We have developed a double-difference algorithm to relocate earthquakes recorded at global seismic networks, using differential arrival times for first and later arriving regional and global phases to invert for the vectors connecting the hypocenters. Differential times are formed from global seismic bulletins and are accurately measured on similar seismograms by time domain waveform cross ...

Activation flow coupling, increases in neuronal activity leading to changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF), is the basis of many neuroimaging methods. An early rise in deoxygenation, the "initial dip," occurs before changes in CBF and cerebral blood volume (CBV) and may provide a better spatial localizer of early neuronal activity compared with subsequent increases in CBF. Imaging modality, anest...

The impact of wind energy generation connected to a weak grid is studied with SIMULINK as simulation platform. The wind energy conversion system is modelled by a squirrel cage asynchronous induction machine (ASM). The grid is modelled as an infinite bus. In the proposed system the ASM is connected to the grid through a DC-link with incorporated battery storage. An ultracapacitor (UCap) bank in ...

Over the past few decades, earthquake engineering research mainly focused on the effects of strong seismic shaking. After the 1999 earthquakes in Turkey and Taiwan, and thanks to numerous cases where fault rupture caused substantial damage to structures, the importance of faulting-induced deformation has re-emerged. This paper, along with its companion (Part II), exploits parametric results of ...
