Integrating Grain-Scale and Fault-Scale Geomechanical Models: A Multi-Scale Study of Fault Triggering
(2017-11-16)Observations have shown that minor changes in the stress state of faults can be significant enough to induce seismic slip. One source of these minor stress changes is from naturally occurring earthquakes located several ... -
The Effects of Fluid Flow On Shear Localization and Frictional Strength From Dynamic Models Of Fault Gouge During Earthquakes
(2013-12-02)This thesis explores the effects of fluid flow on shear localization and frictional strength of fault gouge through the use of a coupled 2-phase (pore fluid-grain) Finite Difference-Discrete Element Numerical model. The ...
