Sentence examples for discrete faults from inspiring English sources

Two kinds of faults are considered: Continuous faults that affect each mode; Discrete faults that affect the mode transition.

Whereas anticipated discrete faults can be properly addressed by fault dictionary methods based on simulation, a consistency based method designed for hybrid systems is proposed to address parametric faults and non-anticipated faults.

Most deformation of Franciscan OPS is localized along discrete faults rather than being distributed in the form of penetrative strain.

The explanation is that the repetitive well pattern forces the stream lines in certain flow paths and discrete faults cannot significantly affect these flow paths (Fig. 22).

Non-accretionary megathrust horizons separate OPS accreted at different times, whereas megathrust slip during accretion was accommodated by internal deformation of OPS, chiefly imbrication of OPS along discrete faults.

However, no systematic change in the thickness of fault strands or sharp discrete faults with depth (up to approximately 15 km) has been reported, and the values are variable (Rowe et al. 2013).

Damage zone faults within the syn-rift are commonly very straight, and may be discrete fault planes with no visible fault rock at the scale of observation, or contain relatively thin and simple zones of scaly shale or gouge.

At syn-rift level, the fault zone is characterised by a single discrete fault zone less than 2 m wide, with damage zone faults up to approximately 200 m into the hanging wall, and with no significant monocline developed.

The elemental basis of the model is a discrete "fault" along an internal weak interface, constrained at its ends by an elastic matrix and subject to frictional sliding, in the subsurface zone of high shear stress in the Hertzian field.

A three-dimensional statistical model of fault damage zone architecture, incorporating fault size, orientation and spatial characteristics observed in natural examples, is used with a two-dimensional discrete fault flow model to investigate fluid flow and up-scaling of permeability in fault damage zones with a permeability contrast between rock matrix and fault rock of four orders of magnitude.

We introduce a discrete fault model where the average values of stress, friction and slip on each region are considered.
