The Sulaiman Fold Thrust (SFT) in Central Pakistan formed during the India-Eurasia collision late Cenozoic. However, mechanics of shortening brittle crust at time scales seismic cycles is still poorly understood. Here, we use radar interferometry to analyze deformation associated with 2015 magnitude (Mw) 5.7 Dajal blind earthquake eastern boundary SFT. We kinematic inversions determine distribu...

iran is located between two lithospheric plates (euroasia, arabian) and these two plates converge toward each other with a velocity of 25 mm/yr rate. shortening that produced from this convergence with makran subductin shows faulting and folding in zagros orogenic belt, alborz and kopedagh in north and sliding in sum strike slip faults with north-south trend in central iran. the nw-se trending ...

Isotopic studies of Canadian Rocky Mountain thrust faults preserve the timing and identity orogenic fluids their fault zone pathways. Using previously dated samples, we measure O- H-isotopic compositions gouge. These nearly 100% neomineralized gouges associated damage zones act as primary fluid As such, they provide a specific local look into nature Late Jurassic to Early Eocene plumbing system...

The availability of the propulsion system is primary importance to ensure safe and stable operations marine crafts, both during transit station keeping. Diminished efficiency could impair ability a vessel maintain speed course possibly lead drifting craft. waterjet’s affected by several factors such as cavitation, erosion, vibration noise emission. This paper addresses design fault-tolerant thr...

The Cingoli arcuate anticline is part of the Apennines fold-thrust belt in Italy. The anticline nvolves sedimentary carbonate strata generally affected by syn-thrusting contractional tructures such as bed-normal pressure solution seams, folds, and reverse faults. An xception is constituted by an outcrop in the anticline hinge, where sub-horizontal arbonate and chert beds are affected by joints ...

[1] The role of phyllosilicate fabrics in fault gouge is a poorly understood component of the mechanical and hydrologic behavior of brittle fault zones. We present 90 fabric intensity measurements using X-ray texture goniometry on 22 natural clay-rich fault gouges from low-angle detachment faults (Death Valley area detachments, California; Ruby Mountains, Nevada; West Salton Detachment Fault, C...
