Microstructures of 3C-SiC grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique on undulant silicon substrate and a further developed technique called switch-back epitaxy (SBE) were studied using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In case of the CVD sample, the density of the stacking faults was found to be significantly decreasing along growth direction. Sites of collision of stacking faults...

the scope of this research is to investigate the effect of geometrical and physical input parameters in crustal viscoelastic deformation models. to do this analysis viscoelastic model of wang et al., 2006 is used. the increasing quality of data on time-dependent deformation of the earth's surface can be used to extract more details on the spatial and temporal development of earthquake-rela...

[1] In a series of numerical experiments, arrays of parallel-dipping normal faults formed only if the model contained a thin viscous layer sandwiched between the brittle, faulted layer on top and a lower boundary that resisted vertical displacement. With this particular vertical stratification, parallel-dipping faults developed even if the viscous layer had a shear-stress-free lower boundary co...

The Alhambra (14th century AD) in Granada (southeast Spain) is built at the summit of a Pliocene to Lower Pleistocene conglomeratic formation. Tens of small-scale normal faults crop out along the northern hillslope of the Alhambra, which have a N130–N150 E strike, dipping 65–75 mostly to the southwest. These are closely spaced faults (approximately 5–30 m) with centimetre to several metre displ...

In a gravel pit (SE Vienna basin), metre-thick bedded successions of conglomerate and sand layers of Miocene age are exceptionally well exposed along a W-E-striking wall. The sediments are cut by numerous N-Sstriking, high-angle normal faults. The faults have a marked displacement gradient and offset marker layers of up to several metres. Using ground penetrating radar, we measured ten sections...

Emanuel Fuchs 11 Furthermore a new method for the automated evaluation of earth faults is introduced. The new method determines the detuning and the damping, based on the decay process, in the frequency domain. For the automated evaluation of earth faults the accurate registration of the distinguishing moment of an earth fault is necessary. For the accurate registration a new method is introduc...

Abstract. Without properly accounting for both fault kinematics and observations of a faulted surface, it is challenging to create 3D geological models units. Geometries where multiple faults interact, the surface geometry significantly deviate from flat plane interfaces are poorly characterised by sparse datasets particular challenges. There two existing approaches incorporating into modelling...

the doruneh fault is one of the longest and most prominent faults in iran. however, only two recorded historical earthquakes with magnitudes more than 7 might be related to this fault. for getting more information on this fault more investigation in different fields are required. fault displacement is one of the most important parameters needed to explore the fault activity. in this study, with...
