Geotribology-Friction, wear, and lubrication of faults

Y Boneh, Z Reches - Tectonophysics, 2018 - Elsevier
We introduce here the concept of Geotribology as an approach to study friction, wear, and
lubrication of geological systems. Methods of geotribology are applied here to characterize …

Challenges and opportunities for research in tectonics: Understanding deformation and the processes that link Earth systems, from geologic time to human time. A …

KW Huntington, KA Klepeis - 2018 - digital.lib.washington.edu
Geoscience is an inherently interdisciplinary endeavor, and one of the most interdisciplinary
geosciences is tectonics. Embracing experimental, observational, and theoretical …

Asperity failure control of stick–slip along brittle faults

X Chen, BM Carpenter, Z Reches - Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2020 - Springer
Stick–slips are spontaneous, unstable slip events during which a natural or man-made
system transitions from a strong, sticking stage to a weaker, slipping stage. Stick–slips were …

Fault mirrors along carbonate faults: Formation and destruction during shear experiments

S Siman-Tov, E Aharonov, Y Boneh… - Earth and Planetary …, 2015 - Elsevier
Glossy, light reflective surfaces are commonly exposed in carbonate fault-zones. It was
suggested that such surfaces, recently termed Fault Mirrors (FMs), form during seismic slip …

Mineral precipitation as a mechanism of fault core growth

OA Callahan, P Eichhubl, NC Davatzes - Journal of structural geology, 2020 - Elsevier
Faults vary in structural style, from simple planes to complex systems composed of fault
cores and damage zones. Increased fault complexity results from the interaction of …

Geometrical evolution of interlocked rough slip surfaces: The role of normal stress

N Badt, YH Hatzor, R Toussaint, A Sagy - Earth and Planetary Science …, 2016 - Elsevier
We study the evolution of slip surface topography using direct shear tests of perfectly mating
surfaces. The tests are performed under imposed constant normal stress and constant slip …

Smoothing and re-roughening processes: The geometric evolution of a single fault zone

KAH Shervais, JD Kirkpatrick - Journal of Structural Geology, 2016 - Elsevier
The geometry of a fault zone exerts a major control on earthquake rupture processes and
source parameters. Observations previously compiled from multiple faults suggest that fault …

A continuum damage–breakage faulting model and solid-granular transitions

V Lyakhovsky, Y Ben-Zion - Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2014 - Springer
We present a thermodynamically-based formulation for mechanical modeling of faulting
processes in the seismogenic brittle crust using a continuum damage–breakage rheology …

Constraining the magnitude of the carbon isotope excursion during the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum using larger benthic foraminifera

Q Zhang, L Ding, K Kitajima, JW Valley, B Zhang… - Global and Planetary …, 2020 - Elsevier
Abstract The Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum (PETM) was an extraordinary pulse of
global warming that left an indelible mark on the Earth approximately 56 Ma ago. This …

Dynamic rupture in a damage-breakage rheology model

V Lyakhovsky, Y Ben-Zion, A Ilchev… - Geophysical Journal …, 2016 - academic.oup.com
We present a thermodynamically based formulation for modelling dynamic rupture
processes in the brittle crust using a continuum damage-breakage rheology. The model …
