Earthquake Ruptures on Rough Faults
Natural fault surfaces exhibit roughness at all scales, with root-mean-square height fluctuations of order 10−3 to 10−2 times the profile length. We study earthquake rupture propagation on such faults, using strongly rate-weakening fault friction and offfault plasticity. Inelastic deformation bounds stresses to reasonable values and prevents fault opening. Stress perturbations induced by slip o...
متن کاملA New Approach for Geological Faults Detection
This paper will introduce a new approach, mainly based on wavelets transform and mathematical morphology, for the detection of geological faults in satellite and aerial photos. This can be useful for territorial analysis, digital cartography and the use of geographical information systems. The proposed method is fast enough and unsupervised. Different techniques will be compared and some exampl...
متن کاملStrike - Slip Earthquakes on Quasi - Vertical Transcurrent Faults : Inferences for General Scaling Relations
_Abstract., The recent occurrence of several large su'ike-slip earthquakes provides the opportunity to review and complement available data on the scaling of seismic moment (Mo) with length of rupture (L) for large earthquakes, depending on their tectonic setting and mechanism. For strikeslip earthquakes onquasi-vertical transcurrent faults, the Mo versus L relation has a significant change of ...
متن کاملHorizon correlation across faults guided by geological constraints
A new approach towards automating the interpretation of geological structures like horizons or faults in reflection seismic data images is presented. Horizons are strong reflection events which indicate boundaries between rock formations while faults are discrete fractures across which there is measurable displacement of rock layering. Horizon tracking across faults and thereby determining geol...
متن کاملEfficient Block Preconditioners for the Numerical Modelling of Geological Faults
The Finite Element modelling of geological faults by penalty contact elements may give rise to illconditioned stiffness matrices with the convergence of iterative solvers accelerated, or even allowed for, by the development and implementation of appropriate preconditioners. The present communication investigates the performance of three different block preconditioners in a realistic geomechanic...
