2D distinct element modeling of the structure and growth of normal faults in multilayer sequences : 1. Model calibration, boundary conditions, and selected results

Schöpfer, Martin P. J. ; Childs, Conrad ; Walsh, John J. (American Geophysical Union, 2007)

The distinct element method is used for modeling the growth of normal faults in layered sequences. The models consist of circular particles that can be bonded together with breakable cement. Size effects of the model ...
2D distinct element modeling of the structure and growth of normal faults in multilayer sequences : 2. Impact of confining pressure and strength contrast on fault zone growth and geometry

Schöpfer, Martin P. J. ; Childs, Conrad ; Walsh, John J. (American Geophysical Union, 2007)

The growth of normal faults in periodically layered sequences with varying strength contrast and at varying confining pressure is modeled using the Distinct Element Method. The normal faulting models are comprised of strong ...
