The characteristics of near-fault ground motion are investigated considering heterogeneous slip distribution on the fault plane. Areas on the fault plane with large slip in compare with the average slip on the fault are known as asperity. The characteristics of strong ground motions in near-fault area are strongly affected by faulting parameters such as asperity location, maximum slip of asperi...

When body-centered-cubic crystals undergo plastic deformation, the slip planes are often noncrystallographic. By performing atomistic simulation on the activation pathway of dislocation jumps in bcc iron, we show that the main reason for bcc crystals to exhibit this phenomenon is that one type of kink pair has significantly lower energy than all the other types on the same slip plane. Dislocati...

The slip day policy for COMP 322 is similar to that of COMP 321. All students will be given 3 slip days to use throughout the semester. When you use a slip day, you will receive up to 24 additional hours to complete the assignment. You may use these slip days in any way you see fit (3 days on one assignment, 1 day each on 3 assignments, etc.). If you use slip days, you must submit a README.txt ...

Colloidal probe atomic force microscopy is used to study the slip behavior of 18 Newtonian liquids from two homologous series, the n-alkanes and n-alcohols, at molecularly smooth hydrophobic n-hexadecyltrichlorosilane coated surfaces. We find that the slip behavior is governed by the bulk viscosity eta of the liquid, specifically, the slip length b approximately etax with x approximately 0.33. ...

Upper-plate faulting in the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State results from relative motion crustal blocks within Cascadia forearc and earthquake cycle processes along subduction zone. We reconstruct fault slip rates since ∼14 ka on Sadie Creek (SCF), north Mountains, using airborne lidar field mapping surficial deposits landforms optically stimulated luminescence radiocarbon dating. The SCF...

We introduce a model AFM tip/substrate system that includes full atomistic detail as well as system compliance to study the transitions between three regimes of atomic friction: smooth sliding, stick-single slip, and stick-multiple slip. We characterize these atomic friction regimes in terms of static and dynamic effects, and investigate how the slip modes affect the mean friction. Molecular st...

We have developed a scaled analog model of subduction zone simulating seismic cycle deformation phases. Its rheology is based on multilayered visco-elasto-plastic materials to account for the mechanical behavior continental lithospheric plate overriding subducting oceanic plate. The seismogenic displays unstable slip behavior, extending at depth into weak interface with stable properties. succe...

Consider a viscous liquid droplet spreading on a surface. The classical slip condition at the liquid–solid interface is the no–slip condition. However, this condition lead to infinite dissipation of energy for propagating contact lines (“no–slip paradox”). For this reason other slip conditions such as the Navier–slip have been introduced. We prove well–posedness for a reduced 1–d fluid model mo...
