[1] Rolling lowlands comprise 80% of Venus’s surface, and thus developing a geological understating of resurfacing and tectonism is critical for our understanding of Venus’ evolution. In this paper, global, regional, and local approaches to interpreting Magellan synthetic aperture radar and altimetry radar data are used to constrain modes of lowland evolution, convection processes, and lithosph...

deformation length is one of the most important parameters in cold roll-forming process, which plays a fundamental role in determining the inter-distance between the stations and rate of deformation. deformation length was first introduced by bhattacharyya. he also obtained a closed-form relation for this length in roll-forming of symmetric channel section. in this paper, deformation length in ...

Large tectonic plates are known to be susceptible to internal deformation, leading to a range of phenomena including intraplate volcanism. However, the space and time dependence of intraplate deformation and its relationship with changing plate boundary configurations, subducting slab geometries, and absolute plate motion is poorly understood. We utilise a buoyancy-driven Stokes flow solver, BE...

Research at continental rifts, mid-ocean ridges, and transforms has shown that new plates are created by extensional tectonics, magma intrusion, and volcanism. Studies of a wide variety of extensional processes ranging from plate thinning to magma intrusion have helped scientists understand how continents are broken apart to form ocean basins. However, deformation processes vary significantly d...

in this study, the effect of tensile test temperature (148 to 673 k) on the microstructural evolutions and the mechanicalproperties of high manganese twinning induced plasticity (twip) steel with the chemical composition of fe-31mn-3al-3si (wt. %) was investigated. xrd, sem and tem were used to study the microstructural evolutions.stacking fault energy (sfe) of the alloy was also calculated by ...

We evaluate models for the formation of the ridge belt fan assemblage on Venus through consideration of the orientation, spatial distribution, topographic expression and wavelengths of observed tectonic surface features. We favor a compressional mechanism for long wavelength deformation corresponding to the spacing of ridge belts (300_<),<400 kin). However, short wavelength ridges and grooves (...

Ridged plains are a major geologic unit on Mars and are a predominant unit on the Tharsis Plateau, a region that has undergone uplift, extension, and extensive shield and flood volcanism. These units, probably flood volcanic in origin, are characterized by landforms classed as wrinkle ridges. Wrinkle ridges are interpreted to be folds, resulting from buckling followed by reverse to thrust fault...

We used electron cryotomography of mitochondrial membranes from wild-type and mutant Saccharomyces cerevisiae to investigate the structure and organization of ATP synthase dimers in situ. Subtomogram averaging of the dimers to 3.7 nm resolution revealed a V-shaped structure of twofold symmetry, with an angle of 86° between monomers. The central and peripheral stalks are well resolved. The monom...

in this work, dynamic mechanical properties of three high-manganese steels with trip/twip or fully twip characteristics are studied. high strain rate experiments in the range of true strain rates between ~500 and 1800 /s are conducted using a dynamic torsional testing setup. all the three steels show a positive strain rate sensitivity in the intermediate range of strain rates (up to 500 /s). bu...
