Sentence examples for displacement zone from inspiring English sources

The principal displacement zone is characterised by strongly transpressive deformation and this contrasts with the extensional component occurring in the transtensional splay zone.

Part of the strike-slip displacement is transferred by fault splaying from the principal displacement zone to the basin-boundary faults in the transtensional splay zone.

Errors for temperature gradient and displacement zone height were relatively higher (up to 28.1%) which might be due to the derivation of the parameters from experimental data.

Shear localisation was followed by subsidiary faulting at an angle to the principal displacement zone according to the Mohr Coulomb Byerlee failure criterion.

We interpret the fault pattern of the consistent kinematic architecture to be produced by early localisation of the principal displacement zone along pre-existing mechanical discontinuities inherited from the Early Paleozoic Ross Orogeny.

The fault system includes a principal displacement zone (PDZ), where most horizontal displacement is accounted for, and a transtensional splay zone (TSZ) in the southern side consisting of a major basin at the fault tip, the Terror Rift, and minor ones paralleling it cratonward.

Deformation of the fault zone may disrupt the original principal displacement zones and force them to relocate, including switching lithologies.

This approach is seen to be consistent and conservative with respect to the well-known parameters pseudo-acceleration A, pseudo-velocity V and relative displacement D with the relations among them A = frac{2pi }{T}V = left( {frac{2pi }{T}} right)^{2} D (1)i.e., pseudo-acceleration declines at a rate proportional to 1/T and 1/T 2 for the constant velocity and displacement zones, respectively.

The shape of the electric displacement saturation zone is shown to depend on the transverse electric displacement.

Considering the change of stress in surrounding rock of bottom extraction roadway, the displacement, plastic zone and distribution law of principal stress difference under different support schemes were studied by means of FLAC3D.

The effects of seismic input angle, seismic acceleration, seismic moment, types of seismic waves, and gas pressure on the dynamic response, stress, displacement, plastic zone, and safety factor (SF) of rock masses that surround salt cavern gas storage facilities are studied.
