Frictional strength and strain weakening in simulated fault gouge: Competition between geometrical weakening and chemical strengthening
[1] Despite the importance of hydromechanical effects in fault processes, not much is known about the interplay of chemical and mechanical processes, in part because the conditions are difficult to simulate in the laboratory. We report results from an experimental study of simulated fault gouge composed of rock salt sheared under conditions where pressure solution is known to operate. At slidin...
متن کاملHysteresis and competition between disorder and crystallization in sheared and vibrated granular flow.
Experiments on spherical particles in a 3D annular shear cell vibrated from below and sheared from above show a hysteretic freezing or melting transition. Under sufficient vibration a crystallized state is observed, which can be melted by sufficient shear. The critical line for this transition coincides with equal kinetic energies for vibration and shear. The force distribution is double peaked...
متن کاملSheared granular layers: Competition between flash heating and particle comminution
Quantitatively predicting the dynamic response and energy partition of granular fault gouges under shear remains a major challenge in seismology. Earthquake laboratory experiments are limited by capacity of equipments and thus cannot provide similar conditions in real earthquake ruptures. This motivates the development of computational models of granular fault gouge that accurately predict thei...
متن کاملA constitutive model for fault gouge deformation in dynamic rupture simulations
In the context of numerical simulations of elastodynamic ruptures, we compare friction laws, including the linear slip-weakening (SW) law, the Dieterich-Ruina (DR) law, and the Free Volume (FV) law. The FV law is based on microscopic physics, incorporating Shear Transformation Zone (STZ) Theory which describes local, non-affine rearrangements within the granular fault gouge. A dynamic state var...
متن کاملThermo-mechanical analysis of magnesium alloy cylinder heads using a two-layer viscoplasticity model
Loading conditions and complex geometry have led the cylinder heads to become the most challenging parts of diesel engines. The aim of this study is to compare the distribution of temperature and stress in the aluminum and magnesium cylinder heads under thermo-mechanical loads. The three-dimensional model of the cylinder heads was simulated in abaqus software and a two-layer viscoplasticity mod...
