[1] To better understand the asymmetric distribution of microearthquake aftershocks along the central San Andreas fault, we study dynamic models of slip-weakening ruptures on an interface separating differing elastic half-spaces. Subshear ruptures grow as slightly asymmetric bilateral cracks, with larger propagation velocities, slip velocities, and normal stress changes at the rupture front mov...

This study focuses on determining the orientation and constraining magnitude of present-day stresses in Dezful Embayment Iran’s Zagros Fold Thrust Belt. Two datasets are used: first includes petrophysical data from 25 wells (3 to 4 km deep), second contains 108 earthquake focal mechanisms, mostly occurring blind active basement faults (5 20 deep). Formal stress inversion analysis mechanisms dem...

Abstract. Recognition of a new angular unconformity and the synthesis detrital zircon U–Pb (U–Th) / He provenance records, including double dating, from NW Zagros region elucidate basin dynamics foreland wedge-top intermontane units, as well tectonic processes in source terranes response to different geodynamic phases. In this contribution, we present field observations data hinterland basins r...

Abstract The Turkish-Iranian Plateau and the Zagros highlands are among most prominent physiographic features in Middle East were formed as a result of continental collision between Arabian Eurasian plates. To better understand nature lithospheric mantle origin observed seismic anomalies this region, we investigated attenuation uppermost by detailed measurements quality factor Sn phase (Sn Q). ...

ABSTRACT The structural complexity of active faults and the stress release history along fault system may exert control on locus extent individual earthquake ruptures. Fault bends, in particular, are often invoked as a possible mechanism for terminating However, there few records available to examine how these factors influence along-fault recurrence earthquakes. We present new paleoearthquake ...

[1] The western Andean mountain front forms the western edge of the central Andean Plateau. Between 18.5 and 22 S latitude, the mountain front has 3000 m of relief over 50 km horizontal distance that has developed in the absence of major local Neogene deformation. Models of the evolution of the plateau, as well as paleoaltimetry estimates, all call for continued large-magnitude uplift of the pl...

In view of the difficulty in diagnosing the early small faults of front-end controlled wind generator (FSCWG), this paper proposes a small fault diagnosis methods based on deep learning. The method adopts a deep learning method, uses vibration data under several different small fault patterns of FSCWG as input of the model and gets deep learning diagnosis model by learning complicated implicit ...

[1] The Arabia-Eurasia collision deforms an area of 3,000,000 km of continental crust, making it one of the largest regions of convergent deformation on Earth. There are now estimates for the active slip rates, total convergence and timing of collision-related deformation of regions from western Turkey to eastern Iran. This paper shows that extrapolating the present day slip rates of many activ...
