Crustal-stored magma reservoirs contain exsolved volatiles which accumulate in the reservoir roof, exerting a buoyancy force on crust. This produces surface uplift and sudden loss of through eruption results syn-eruptive subsidence. Here, we present three-dimensional, visco-elasto-plastic, numerical modeling quantify ground deformation arising from growth release volatile reservoir. Deformation...

An MJMA6.5 earthquake (foreshock) and MJMA7.3 earthquake (mainshock) struck Kumamoto Prefecture on April 14, 2016, and April 16, 2016. To evaluate the effect of crustal deformation due to the earthquake on the Aso magma system, we detected crustal deformation using InSAR and GNSS. From InSAR analysis, we detected large crustal deformations along the Hinagu Fault, the Futagawa Fault, and the nor...

[1] We model evolution of a continent-continent collision and draw some parallels with the tectonic evolution of the Himalaya. We use a large-scale viscoplasto-elastic thermomechanical model that has a free upper surface, accounts for erosion and deposition and allows for all modes of lithospheric deformation. For quartz/olivine rheology and 60 mm/yr convergence rate, the continental subduction...

In this paper, transverse and longitudinal vibration of nonlinear plate under exciting of orbiting mass is considered based on first-order shear deformation theory. The nonlinear governing equation of motion are discretized by the finite element method in combination with Newmark’s time integration scheme under von Karman strain-displacement assumptions. For validation of method and formulation...

Airway smooth muscle (ASM) is able to generate maximal force under static conditions, and this isometric force can be maintained over a large length range due to length adaptation. The increased force at short muscle length could lead to excessive narrowing of the airways. Prolonged exposure of ASM to submaximal stimuli also increases the muscle's ability to generate force in a process called f...

objectives: nowadays, snap-fits are used in the automotive industry as a proper alternative for mechanical joints, cabling joints, and car interior lining joints. due to the special form of these joints, which are assembled manually, the contact area between snap-fits and the worker's fingertips can be too small. this can cause skin pain on the worker's fingertips. therefore, an ergonomic study...
