The objective is to demonstrate that the equilibrium element method (EEM) provides the stress distribution in geometrical models of folds, relevant to fold-and-thrust belts as well as accretionary wedges. The core of the method, inherited from limit analysis, is the search for an optimum stress field that (1) is in equilibrium, (2) remains everywhere below or equal to the ...

Mud volcanoes have been widely documented in areas of overpressure where explosive expansion of trapped methane has occurred during argillokinesis. In an area with high sedimentation rate, such as the Gulf of Mexico, there may be no time for fine-grained sediment to de-water before being covered by impermeable material. In an accretionary wedge this process is complicated by ...

[1] Log and core data document gas saturations as high as 90 % in a coarse-grained turbidite sequence beneath the gas hydrate stability zone (GHSZ) at south Hydrate Ridge, in the Cascadia accretionary complex. The geometry of this gassaturated bed is defined by a strong, negative-polarity reflection in 3D seismic data. Because of the gas buoyancy, gas pressure equals or ...

To investigate the behavior of Li during low-grade metamorphism and fluid flux in an accretionary prism we measured the Li concentrations ([Li]) and isotopic compositions (?7Li) of sub-greenschist and greenschist-facies Otago Schist composites, as well as cross-cutting quartz veins, which are interpreted to have precipitated from slab-derived fluids. The average [Li] of ...

Understanding the controls on uplift, exhumation and topography in orogenesis requires integrating the effects of both climatic and tectonic forcing. The potential for climatic forcing of individual structural units within thrust wedges has recently been hotly debated and tested. Here we use a recently developed discrete element model (Naylor et al., 2005) ...

The transgressive-regressive history of an active margin bordering a marine foreland basin is controlled by the relative rates of sediment supply, basin subsidence, and sea level change.

The great February 27, 2010 Mw 8.8 earthquake off the coast of southern Chile ruptured a 606 km length of subduction zone. In this study we make two independent estimates of shear stress in the crust in the region of the Chile earthquake. First, we use a coseismic slip model constrained by geodetic observations from InSAR and GPS to derive a spatially variable estimate of the change in static ...

The Nankai and Cascadia subduction zones have low-stress forearcs, where the margin-normal horizontal compressive stress is similar to or less than the vertical stress except in the accretionary prisms. In the absence of active back-arc spreading, the forearc margin-normal stress is controlled mainly by the total shear force along the subduction fault (or ...

The well-known model for the critical taper of an accretionary wedge includes overpressure as a first-order parameter. Fluid overpressures reduce frictional resistance at the base of a wedge but they also act as body forces on all material particles of the wedge, in addition to that of gravity. By means of sandbox modeling, many workers have tried to ...

The lack of a robust quantitative measure of myotonia has been underlined in previous studies. Recent publications have proposed methods to quantify myotonia based on the measurement of force relaxation times during maximal contractions. However, they present several drawbacks mainly due to unstable force, odd peaks or digital noise. A possible solution to ...

. Dynamics of the E ring dust grains in Saturn's magnetosphere are investigated. Apart from the solar radiation pressure and the planetary oblateness, the Lorentz force due to variable charge and the plasma drag are taken into account. The Lorentz force is considered for the grain's charge which does not depend on time explicitly but is a function of the ...

Great subduction megathrust earthquakes pose a significant tsunami risk in coastal regions. In order to constrain natural tsunamigenic source heterogeneity and its effect on tsunami variability in different subduction settings (accretive, erosive), we here analyze a sequence of experimentally simulated great megathrust earthquakes. We use an elastoplastic wedge overlying a rate- and ...

Geophysical observations at plumes, ridges, and arcs indicate that the the volcanic accretionary zone is much narrower than the inferred melt production region in the upwelling mantle. For ridges and arcs, lateral pressure gradients induced by advection of viscous asthenospheric mantle have been proposed as a potential mechanism for focusing melts to the ...

The regression of lung function change on the initial lung function level is biased when the initial level is measured with random error. Several methods have been proposed to obtain unbiased estimates of regression coefficients in such circumstances. We apply these methods to examine the relationship between lung function loss over 11 years and its ...

A major goal of the manufacturing industry is increasing product quality. The quality of a product is strongly associated with the condition of the cutting tool that produced it. Catching poor tool conditions early in the production will help reduce defects. However, with current CNC technology, manufacturers still rely mainly on the operator's experience to operate and monitor machines to avoid ...

The evolutionary forces driving the reduction of eyes and pigmentation in cave-adapted animals are unknown; Darwin famously questioned the role of natural selection in eye loss in cave fishes: "As it is difficult to imagine that eyes, although useless, could be in any way injurious to animals living in darkness, I attribute their loss wholly to disuse"[1]. We studied the ...

This paper examines the impact of a gifted program on retention in an urban school district using a regression discontinuity design. Gifted programs often employ IQ thresholds for admission, with those above the threshold being admitted. One common problem with the RD design arises if the forcing variable (the IQ score) is manipulated, thus invalidating ...

The reliability of the methods of determining the friction coefficient is analyzed, since the friction stresses in the deformation zone during cold rolling significantly affect the quality of cold-rolled sheets and the energy consumption. The well-known experimental data and empirical dependences are shown to contradict each other, and the statistical assurance of these dependences is absent. A ...

This paper presents a new method of self-sensing both of the displacement and the external applied force at the tip of piezoelectric cantilevers. Integrated electric current across piezoelectric actuators is compensated against material nonlinearities (creep, hysteresis) to provide reliable information. We propose to compensate the hysteresis by using the Prandtl-Ishlinskii ...

Hydrocarbon habitats on the Tunisia-Sicily shelf result from the complex interplay of three factors: (1) proximity to a source of terrigenous sediments, (2) eustatic sea level changes resulting in major transgression/regression events, and (3) a varied and ever-changing structural mosaic involving successive transtensional, transpressive, and compressional tectonic phases.
