8. Growth of Accretionary Wedges off Vancouver Island and Oregon
A simple formulation for the growth of a wedge of constant taper accreting a sediment layer of given thickness and exponential decrease of porosity with depth was used to estimate the rates of growth of the accretionary wedges off Vancouver Island and Oregon. Application to the section off Vancouver Island indicates that the accreted sediments penetrated at Site 889 were added to the toe of the...
متن کاملprediction of ignition delay period in d.i diesel engines
a semi-empirical mathematical model for predicting physical part of ignition delay period in the combustion of direct - injection diesel engines with swirl is developed . this model based on a single droplet evaporation model . the governing equations , namely , equations of droplet motion , heat and mass transfer were solved simultaneously using a rung-kutta step by step unmerical method . the...
Effects of oceanic ridge subduction on accretionary wedges: Experimental modeling and marine observations
Sandbox modeling is used to study the deformation of accretionary wedges caused by the subduction of oceanic ridges. The first experiment incorporates a massive ridge within a sand wedge. The wedge thickens and shortens when the forward propagation f the basal decollement ceases. The wedge thickening results in taper change, reactivation of preexisting thrusts, and retreat of the frontal part o...
متن کاملSequences, Wedges and Associated Sets of Complex Numbers
Let R = (ri' r 2 , ... ) be a finite or infinite (strictly increasing) sequence of positive integers and let (Wi' W2 , ••• ) be a sequence of wedges in the complex plane. Consider the following problem: Characterize those complex numbers c for which (Ll) for k = 1,2, .... It is shown in [1 J and [4J that, under certain assumptions on the wedges and on the density of the sequence R, the set of a...
متن کاملDuctile deformation and mass loss in the Franciscan Subduction Complex: implications for exhumation processes in accretionary wedges
Deformation measurements from 64 sandstone samples collected in three study areas from the Eastern Belt of the Franciscan Complex are used to evaluate how the high pressure metamorphic interior of the Franciscan wedge was exhumed. Pressure estimates indicate 25-30 km of exhumation in this part of the Franciscan Complex. Much of the Eastern Belt has a semi-penetrative cleavage that formed by so...
