It is believed that Greater India migrated from the southern hemisphere, collided with Gondwanaland, Angaraland and Cathaysia, thereby closing an intervening oceanic Tethys along the Indus-Yarlung-Tsangpo Suture Zone (IYTSZ).The suture zone is placed along the Chaman Fault in the Baluchistan-Afghanistan area in the west, and the Indus-Yarlung-Tsangpo in the north, whereas along the east from Th...

this study aims to identify favorable oil–gas reservoir facies in the chishan group of the wubao fault zone (gaoyou sag, subei basin, china) using the methods of outcrops and cores observation, granularity analysis, scanning electron microscope, log data, etc. the results suggest that the chishan group in the studied area mainly develops desert sedimentary system, and contains five kinds of fac...

Cascaded tripping of power lines due to mal-operation of zone 3 distance relays was one of the main causes of many previous blackouts worldwide. Encroachment of load into the zone 3 characteristics is one of the main cause for the maloperation of the relays. By improving the operation of zone 3 of distance relays it is possible to prevent such mal-operations so that cascaded line tripping can b...

The paper reviews models for inelastic deformation processes preceding earthquake rupture in brittle, natural rock masses. The discussion is organized around three types of failure models: (i) localization bifurcations, whereby a uniform or nearly uniform pattern of deformation gives way to highly localized deformations within a fault zone; (ii) non-homogeneous deformations due to an inclusion-...
