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 ...
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 ...
Displacement rates for normal and reverse faults (N = 57) are generally higher when averaged for the Holocene (~10 ka) than for the late Quaternary (~300 ka) and longer time scales. Holocene acceleration of displacement ...
A range of unfaulted and faulted bed-scale models with sheet-like bed geometries
have been built and analysed in terms of static bed connectivity and fractional
permeability assuming permeable sands and impermeable shales. ...
