The Coyote Creek fault is a major strand of the San Jacinto fault zone in southern California. Pleistocene sediments and sedimentary rocks exposed in the lower Coyote Creek area preserve a record of surface deformation, stream reorganization, and erosion that resulted from initiation and slip on the Coyote Badlands strand of the Coyote Creek fault. A well-exposed section of conglomerate and san...

We study how the fault dip and slip rake angles affect near-source ground velocities and displacements as faulting transitions from strike-slip motion on a vertical fault to thrust motion on a shallow-dipping fault. Ground motions are computed for five fault geometries with different combinations of fault dip and rake angles and common values for the fault area and the average slip. The nature ...

In order to develop a LISICON separator for an aqueous lithium-air battery, a thin membrane was prepared by a tape-casting of a Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7 (PO4)3−AlPO4 based slip followed by a sintering step. By optimizing the grain sizes, the slip composition and the sintering treatment, the mechanical properties were improved and the membrane was reduced to a thickness of down to 40 μm. As a result, the...

in this study, the development of structural elements and the relationship between these elements and dikes emplacements investigated by the field surveys and analysis of satellite images of the east dasht-e bayaz fault zone. in this area nnw-sse (t2) and nw-se trending dikes are which follow the fractures of the region. we measured geometric characters of dikes (such as thickness, attitude, di...

We investigate the spatial pattern of surface creep and off-fault deformation along the southern segment of the San Andreas Fault using a combination of multiple interferometric synthetic aperture radar viewing geometries and survey-mode GPS occupations of a dense array crossing the fault. Radar observations from Envisat during the period 2003–2010 were used to separate the pattern of horizonta...

Faults in complex tectonic environments interact in various ways, including triggered rupture of one fault by another, that may increase seismic hazard in the surrounding region. We model static and dynamic fault interactions between the strike-slip and thrust fault systems in southern California. We find that rupture of the Sierra Madre-Cucamonga thrust fault system is unlikely to trigger rupt...

An offshore zone of faulting approximately 10 km from the southern California coast connects the seismically active strike-slip Newport–Inglewood fault zone in the Los Angeles metropolitan region with the active Rose Canyon fault zone in the San Diego area. Relatively little seismicity has been recorded along the offshore Newport–Inglewood Rose Canyon fault zone, although it has long been suspe...

kuhbanan fault system, as one of the intracontinental faults of central iran, is recognized by considerable seismogenic activities and modern morphotectonics evidences with a strike-slip (reverse component) motion. according to the geometric and kinematics data, kuhbanan fault has been divided into 5 segments (s26, s27, s28, s29, s30) in bahabad region. measured geomorphic indices of ratio of v...

We present a new procedure for the determination of rupture complexity from a joint inversion of static and seismic data. Our fault parameterization involves multiple fault segments, variable local slip, rake angle, rise time, and rupture velocity. To separate the spatial and temporal slip history, we introduce a wavelet transform that proves effective at studying the time and frequency charact...
