ABSTRACT Blade failure is a common problem of a steam turbine and it’s failure in-service results in safety risks, repair cost and non operational revenue losses. Thus, the reliability of these blades is very important for the successful operation of a steam turbine. Dynamic analysis of a steam turbine blade in computational environment is carried out in the present work. In order to gain physi...

The macroscopic behaviour of a fault zone can be described by a classic Coulomb friction law and static^kinetic rheology. The critical failure stress leading to the activation of a single shear zone segment then depends on the normal stress acting on the future fault plane. It is known that the seismic cycle on a main fault patch can be modulated by surrounding fault activations, leading to int...

Kinematic data from two segments of the Coast Range fault are used to test the hypothesis that the Franciscan subduction complex was exhumed by extensional faulting. The data reveal a consistent geometry for the principal directions of brittle strain. The maximum extension direction has an east-west orientation and lies subperpendicular to the present attitude of the Coast Range fault, which di...

The sinistral East Anatolian Fault Zone (EAFZ) and the dextral North (NAFZ) are two important strike-slip faults that delimit boundaries of plate. north-south directed compressional forces in eastern Türkiye trigger westward escape plate along these prominent structures. This study aims to reveal earthquake history Sürgü Çardak faults, which fault segments splay from EAFZ. In this context, over...

The Bitlis-Zagros Fold-Thrust Belt is one of the world?s largest deformation zones, extending from Eastern Mediterranean in southern Turkey to south Iran. This zone partitioned between different structures; however, little known about relative activities these structures and their effects on topography. An area located northern part Bitlis- Zagros Belt, just Anatolian Plateau was studied detail...

The Dead Sea Fault (DSF) is a crustal-scale continental transform fault separating the African and Arabian plates. Neogene to Quaternary volcanic activity well-spread in Northern Israel. Yet, origin of magmas that fed eruptions still unpinned. Our local earthquake tomography depicts velocity distributions typical rifting settings. At 9 km depth, prominent high Vp/Vs anomaly marks presence cooli...

The change of motion mode multistage active strike-slip faults controls the segmentary types faults, which is seldom studied.Based on high-precision 3D seismic data and principle structural analysis, this paper defines evolution characteristics tp12cx fault in key period identifies segmentation types. Combined with statistical results drilling production width, it demonstrated that different se...

Abstract Strike-slip faults are classically associated with pull-apart basins where continental crust is thinned between two laterally offset fault segments. We propose a subsidence mechanism to explain the formation of new type basin no substantial segment or syn-strike-slip thinning observed. Such “flexural strike-slip basins” form due sediment load creating accommodation space by bending lit...

S U M M A R Y We determine the finite-fault slip distribution of the 2001 Kunlun earthquake (M s = 8.1) by inverting teleseismic waveforms, as constrained by geological and remote sensing field observations. The spatial slip distribution along the 400-km-long fault was divided into five segments in accordance with geological observations. Forward modelling of regional surface waves was performe...

The Kalabagh strike–slip fault, which is characterized by right-lateral movement, part of the northwestern Himalayan foreland fold and thrust belt in Pakistan. This structure marks western eastern terminations Salt Range Surghar Ranges, respectively. No significant (>M6) earthquakes have been reported along Fault recent decades. Here, we take advantage space-borne Sentinel-1A SAR interfe...
