Stress accumulation rates along the primary segments of the San Andreas Fault system are computed using a three-dimensional (3-D) elastic half-space model with realistic fault geometry. The model is developed in the Fourier domain by solving for the response of an elastic halfspace due to a point vector body force and analytically integrating the force from a locking depth to infinite depth. Th...

Despite the fact that Mohr-Coulomb theory of strength appeared more than a hundred years ago, many authors are still conducting research in accordance with recommendations to find optimal solutions practical problems. From Coulomb-Mohr theory, huge number methods for solving applied problems were formed, example, initial critical load, which is useful article. This formula no longer new, but de...

Buckle folds are common traps for hydrocarbon in several contractional provinces. Buckle folds form where stratified sequences rest a top salt or some other utterly weak rock as a decollemet zone in units with high competency contrasts by a compressive stress which acted along the length of the rock layers. An important parameter affecting buckle folding of a competent zone above a mobile decol...

In this paper, dynamic and stability analysis of a flexible cam-follower system is investigated. Equation of motion is derived considering flexibility of the follower and camshaft. Viscous and Coulomb frictions are considered in the rocker arm pivot. The normalized equation of motion of the system is a 2nd- order differential equation with periodic coefficients.&#10Floquet theory is employed to...

Traditional analyses of slip at corners of contacts, based on linear elasticity and a Coulomb friction law, are very sensitive to the details of local geometries, owing to the effects of elastic singularities. Following the use of cohesive-zone models to address such issues in mode-II fracture, we present analyses of slip and wear at corners of contacts when a finite interfacial shear strength ...

The tectonic structure of Türkiye is under the influence Arabian, Eurasian, African, and Anatolian plates. Lake Van region, located in eastern Türkiye, has been exposed to many devastating earthquakes historical instrumental periods. In this paper, using regional earthquakes, stress variation region was investigated Coulomb change b-value distribution. 83 that occurred between 2000 2020 are use...
