Geometrical analysis of the refraction and segmentation of normal faults in periodically layered sequences

Schöpfer, Martin P. J. ; Childs, Conrad ; Walsh, John J. ; Manzocchi, Tom ; Koyi, Hemin A. (Elsevier, 2007-02)

Normal faults contained in multilayers are often characterised by dip refraction which is generally attributed to differences in the mechanical properties of the layers, sometimes leading to different modes of fracture. ...
Localisation of normal faults in multilayer sequences

Schöpfer, Martin P. J. ; Childs, Conrad ; Walsh, John J. (Elsevier, 2006-05)

Existing conceptual growth models for faults in layered sequences suggest that faults first localise in strong, and brittle, layers and are later linked in weak, and ductile, layers. We use the Discrete Element Method (DEM) ...
