FEM Simulation of Dynamic Sliding of Faults Connecting Static Deformation Process to Dynamic Process
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of present study is to develop a finite element method (FEM) software system toward a large-scale computation of following seismic processes: (1) Accumulation of the stress around active faults in the crust, which is induced by a subduction of plates in a long time span (static deformation process); (2) Onset of an earthquake due to a dynamic sliding on the faults, which is induced by the tangential stress component acting on the fault surface, together with propagation of the seismic wave in a complex media (dynamic deformation process).

Stability assessment of the Farrokhi earth embankment dam using the pseudo-static and deformation based methods
The behavior of earth dams has particular complexities against dynamic forces and its assessment requiresdetailed and scientific analysis. The Farrokhi earth dam is a heterogeneous type with vertical clay core, built 150 km away from Birjand and 41 km away from Qaen on the Farrokhi River. There are concernsregarding the stability of this dam in the event of a future severe earthquake especially...
متن کاملDevelopment and Application of an ALE Large Deformation Formulation
This paper presents a complete derivation and implementation of the Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) formulation for the simulation of nonlinear static and dynamic problems in solid mechanics. While most of the previous work done on ALE for dynamic applications was mainly based on operator split and explicit calculations, this work derives the quasi-static and dynamic ALE equations in its si...

متن کاملFinite element simulation of pyroplastic deformation, anisotropic shrinkage and heterogeneous densification for ceramic materials during liquid phase sintering process
Pyroplastic deformation is a distortion of the ceramic shape during the sintering process. It occurs because the flow of the vitreous phase at high temperature and the applied stress due to the weight of the product during sintering process. The aim of this paper deals with describing a numerical-experimental method to evaluate the pyroplastic deformation, to predict the anisotropic shrinkage a...
