DETACH: an Excel spreadsheet to simulate 2-D cross sections of detachment folds
TL;DR: DETACH, a Microsoft Excel(TM) spreadsheet, is developed to construct simple cross sections of detachment folds using published geometric and kinematic models, and allows users to assess the range of possible fold geometries and detachment depths that can be constructed using a prescribed set of fold kinematics.

Physical modeling of deformation patterns in monoclines above oblique-slip faults
TL;DR: In this paper, a suite of Laramide-style folds over basement faults with variable obliquity were modeled using close-range photogrammetry and the results of these measurements were used to predict deformation patterns that we would expect to find in analogous natural structures.

- 01 Jan 2016
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted numerical simulations of coupled fluid and heat transport in an offshore, buried salt diapir environment to determine the effects of advective heat transport and its relation to the so-called "salt chimney effect".
Loading configurations and driving mechanisms for joints based on the Griffith energy-balance concept
Terry Engelder,Mark P. Fischer +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Griffith energy-balance concept is used to model joint propagation in the brittle crust, and two laboratory loading configurations serve as appropriate analogs for in situ conditions: the dead-weight load and the fixed-grips load.
