Strain Patterns and Strain Accumulation Along Plate Margins
نویسنده
چکیده
Observations of strain accumulation along plate margins in Japan, New Zealand, and the United States indicate that: 1) a typical maximum rate of secular strain accumulation is on the order of 0.3 ppm/a, 2) a substantial part of the strain accumulation process can be attributed to slip at depth on the major plate boundary faults, and 3) some plastic deformation in a zone 100 km or more in width is apparently involved in the strain accumulation process.

Plastic Deformation Characteristics of Continuous Confined Strip Shearing Process Considering the Deformation Homogeneity and Damage Accumulation
In the present investigation, two dimensional elastoplastic finite element analysis was conducted to assess the deformation characteristics of Al 1100 alloy during continuous confined strip shearing (C2S2) process. The results of simulations showed that the plastic strain distribution across the deformed sample is non-uniform irrespective of the amount of friction and C2S2 die angle. The most u...
متن کاملFault geometry and earthquakes in continental interiors
Although large earthquakes in continental interiors are much less frequent than those along plate boundaries, they have been responsible for a disproportionate amount of destruction. I present a testable model for strain accumulation and seismicity in the upper crust of continental interiors. Intersecting faults provide a focus for strain build-up, resulting in local pockets of high strain accu...

In this article, the influence of hydrostatic stress and gravity on a clamped- free non homogeneous magneto electro elastic plate of polygonal cross sections is studied using linear theory of elasticity. The equations of motion based on two-dimensional theory of elasticity are applied under the plane strain assumption of prestressed and gravitated magneto electro elastic plate of polygonal cros...
متن کاملA Strain Range Dependent Cyclic Plasticity Model
Hysteresis loop curves are highly important for numerical simulations of materials deformation under cyclic loadings. The models mainly take account of only the tensile half of the stabilized cycle in hysteresis loop for identification of the constants which don’t vary with accumulation of plastic strain and strain range of the hysteresis loop. This approach may be quite erroneous particularly ...
