Exhumed fault zones offer insights into deformation processes associated with earthquakes
in unparalleled spatial resolution; however it can be difficult to differentiate seismic slip from …

There has been a flurry of interest over the past decade in the study of impact and
penetration into granular media. A wealth of knowledge has resulted from these efforts. This …

Microtectonics deals with the interpretation of microstructures, small-scale deformation
structures in rocks that yield abundant information on the history and type of deformation and …

We argue that the observed conduit‐barrier behavior of fault zones in siliciclastic
sedimentary aquifer systems can be understood by considering a strongly anisotropic …

Two‐dimensional numerical simulations were conducted using the distinct element method
(DEM) to examine the influences of particle size distribution (PSD) and interparticle friction …

Mylonites form in response to high rates of strain within deep ductile shear zones, which are
the extensions at depth of surface faults, thrusts and fault breccias, They can have many …

Clay-rich fault rocks have long been recognized to host distinctive fabric elements, and fault
rock fabric is increasingly thought to play a fundamental role in fault mechanical behaviour …

Particle size distributions of cataclastic rocks influence the mechanical and fluid flow
behaviour of fault zones. Available data from natural cataclastic rocks are still controversial …

Two dimensional (2‐D) numerical simulations were conducted using the distinct element
method (DEM) to explore the influences of particle size distribution (PSD), defined by 2‐D …

Advances in triaxial compression deformation apparatus design, dynamic X-ray
microtomography imaging, data analysis techniques, and digital volume correlation analysis …
