Sentence examples for rupture plane from inspiring English sources

Aftershocks (orange dots on the map) are usually confined to the rupture plane of the main quake.

The moment field acting on the rupture plane is decomposed into space and time functions, which is a novel concept.

An earthquake having at least a magnitude of m is assumed to occur whenever the total strain energy accumulated over the potential rupture plane exceeds the energy level corresponding to this magnitude, m.

Variations of the adhesive strength of the protein coating on the substrate revealed that the rupture plane was localized along the substrate-extracellular matrix interface for non-covalently adsorbed adhesion proteins, while the collagen-integrin interface ruptured when collagen I was covalently crosslinked to the substrate.

Hence, we chose the optimal rupture plane as the received fault (Shan et al. 2011).

The inferred rupture plane is shown in bold on the focal mechanism.

This observation agrees with previous studies that find large, intermediate-depth earthquakes have subhorizontal rupture planes.

The results also show a significant portion of the events have multiple rupture planes that are well separated in depth.

The movements on rupture planes also constrained the establishment of drainage patterns and the aberrations in river behaviour.

While this approach adequately takes multi-dimensional directivity into account it fails to consider complexities such as geometrical bends, multiple rupture planes, variable rupture velocity and dislocation rise time.

We propose that a dehydration embrittlement mechanism combined with preferentially hydrated subhorizontal faults can explain the observations of dominant subhorizontal rupture planes and the frequent occurrence of rupture complexity involving multiple subevents.
