MODELING SLOPE INSTABILITY AS SHEAR RUPTURE PROPOGATION IN A SATURATED POROUS MEDIUM (2009)

Viesca R. C. , Rice J. R.

Complex mathematical representation of shear surfaces and pore pressures.

Filed under: Soil Mechanics - Soil Behavior & Testing

Reference: 4th International Sumposium on Submarine Mass Movements and their Consequences, Austing, TX

THERMO- AND HYDRO-MECHANICAL PROCESSES ALONGFAULTS DURING RAPID SLIP (2009)

Rice J. R. , Dunham E. M. et al.

It is suggested that the two primary dynamic weakening mechanisms during seismic slip, are then as follows: (1) Flash heating at highly stressed frictional micro-contacts, and (2) Thermal pressurization of fault-zone pore fluid. Both have characteristics which ...

A CRITICAL EVALUATION OF DYNAMIC FRACTURE SIMULATIONS USING COHESIVE SURFACES (2001)

Falk M. L. , Needleman A. et al.

The calculations reported here illustrate that simulations of crack branching with cohesive surfaces between all elements are not well posed in the sense that the results continually change with mesh refinement. Introducing an additional length scale into ...
