Multicycle dynamics of nonplanar strike-slip faults
[1] We perform two-dimensional dynamic models of strike-slip faults with a change in strike (a bend) over multiple earthquake cycles to examine the long-term effects of nonplanar fault geometry. A viscoelastic model (a proxy for off-fault deformation and tectonic loading) is introduced for the interseismic process to avoid pathological stress buildup around the bend. A finite element method wit...
متن کامل3D stochastic rock fracture modeling related to strike-slip faults
Fault zones and fault-related fracture systems control the mechanical behaviors and fluid-flow properties of the Earth’s crust. Furthermore, nowadays, modeling is being increasingly used in order to understand the behavior of rock masses, and to determine their characteristics. In this work, fault zones and fracture patterns are reviewed, and also comprehensive studies are carried out on the fr...
متن کاملStress triggering in thrust and subduction earthquakes and stress interaction between the southern San Andreas and nearby thrust and strike-slip faults
[1] We argue that key features of thrust earthquake triggering, inhibition, and clustering can be explained by Coulomb stress changes, which we illustrate by a suite of representative models and by detailed examples. Whereas slip on surface-cutting thrust faults drops the stress in most of the adjacent crust, slip on blind thrust faults increases the stress on some nearby zones, particularly ab...
متن کاملEffect of detachment levels, thrust and basement strike-slip faults on structural geometry of the Naft anticline in the Lurestan zone, West Iran
The Naft anticline with NW-SE trend is located in north of the Lurestan sub-zone and the Zagros fold and thrust belt. Thrust and basement strike-slip faults and detachment levels play an important role in the structural geometry of the folded structures in this is sub-zone. In this research, deformational pattern and structural geometry of the Naft anticline hane been studied using constration...
متن کاملMajor intracontinental strike-slip faults and contrasts in lithospheric strength
A large fraction of major intracontinental strike-slip faults, defi ned here as those slipping at rates of ~10 mm/yr or more, lie adjacent to relatively strong regions, such as oceanic lithosphere or Precambrian shields. We suggest that such faults form adjacent to discontinuities in strength, because strain in a continuous medium must concentrate near such strong objects. Concentration in stra...
