Two great underthrusting earthquakes that occurred along the coast of Peru in 2001 and 2007 involve spatiotemporal slip distributions that differ from the predominantly unilateral or bilateral rupture expansion of many great events. Commonly used finite-source rupture model parameterizations, with specified rupture velocity and/or short duration of slip at each grid point applied to the seismic...

Slip is defined, in this study, as relative motion between the stump skin and the socket. An excessive amount of slip may lead to abrasive injury, inadequate control over socket position and, ultimately, possible loss of the prosthesis. Conversely, lack of slip may conceivably reflect excessive restraint obtained by too tight a fit; implicit are large stump socket pressures. This study was cond...

We use interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) observations to investigate the coseismic deformation and slip distribution of the 1997 Mw7.5 Manyi earthquake, a left-lateral strike-slip earthquake occurred on the west portion of the Kunlun fault in the northern Tibet, China. The fault trace is constrained by the combination of interferometric coherence image and azimuth offset image. T...

Injection molding is a manufacturing process for producing parts from both thermoplastic and thermosetting plastic materials. When the material is in contact with the mold wall surface, one has three choices: i no slip which implies that thematerial sticks to the surface ii partial slip, and iii complete slip 1–5 . Navier 6 in 1827 first proposed a partial slip condition for rough surfaces, rel...

We present a mathematical formulation of kinetic boundary conditions for Lattice Boltzmann schemes in terms of reflection, slip, and accommodation coefficients. It is analytically and numerically shown that, in the presence of a non-zero slip coefficient, the Lattice Boltzmann flow develops a physical slip flow component at the wall. Moreover, it is shown that the slip coefficient can be tuned ...

The steady flow of a third grade fluid past a horizontal porous plate with partial slip is investigated. The arising non-linear problem is solved numerically using a finite element method. The results of no-slip and slip conditions are presented graphically and the effects of fluid parameters, suction velocity and slip parameter have been discussed. Comparison of the present analysis is made wi...

It is known that a boundary slip velocity starts to play an important role when the length scale over which the fluid velocity changes approaches the slip length, i.e., when the fluid is highly confined, for example, fluid flow through porous rock or blood vessel capillaries. Zhu and Granick [Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 096105 (2001)] have recently experimentally established the existence of a boundar...

On microscopic and mesoscopic scales, plastic flow of crystals is characterized by large intrinsic fluctuations. Deformation by crystallographic slip occurs in a sequence of intermittent bursts (’slip avalanches’) with power-law size distribution. In the spatial domain, these avalanches produce characteristic deformation patterns in the form of slip lines and slip bands which exhibit longrange ...

This paper quantitatively evaluates several alternative approaches to the scheduling of cells in a highbandwidth input-queued ATM switch. In particular, we compare the performance of three algorithms described previously: FIFO queueing, parallel iterative matching (PIM), maximum matching and two new algorithms: iterative round-robin matching with slip (SLIP) and least-recently used (LRU). For t...

Ultrathin polymer films on non-wettable substrates display dynamic features which have been attributed to either viscoelastic or slip effects. Here we show that in the weak- and strong-slip regime, effects of viscoelastic relaxation are either absent or essentially indistinguishable from slip effects. Strong slip modifies the fastest unstable mode in a rupturing thin film, which questions the s...
