Visualizing a Spherical Geological Discrete Element Model of Fault Evolution

Discrete Element Modelling (DEM) is a numerical technique that uses a system of interacting discrete bodies to simulate the movement of material being exposed to external forces. This technique is often used to simulate granular systems; however by adding further elements that inter-connect the bodies, it can be used to simulate the deformation of a large volume of material. This method has pre...

Off-fault tensile cracks: A link between geological fault observations, lab experiments, and dynamic rupture models

[1] We examine the local nature of the dynamic stress field in the vicinity of the tip of a semi-infinite sub-Rayleigh (slower than the Rayleigh wave speed, cR) mode II crack with a velocity-weakening cohesive zone. We constrain the model using results from dynamic photoelastic experiments, in which shear ruptures were nucleated spontaneously in Homalite-100 plates along a bonded, precut, and i...

Gigantic tongue lipoma: a case report.

Lipomas are among the most common tumors of the human body. However, they are uncommon in the oral cavity. In the oral cavity they present as a slow growing, painless, and asymptomatic yellowish submucosal mass. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice with recurrence not expected. They have been known to grow to large sizes causing mastication and speech difficulties. The usual lesions con...
