The propagation of a buoyant liquid-filled fissure from a source under constant pressure: An experimental approach. Authors' reply
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the propagation of a buoyant liquid-filled fissure from a reservoir under constant pressure within the framework of linear elastic fracture mechanics and found that the elastic pressure generated by the fissures is balanced by the fracture pressure.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors systematically investigated both rheological and physical properties of a wide range of gelatins as functions of temperature, composition, concentration, ageing and applied strain rate.

Normal fault reactivation during multiphase extension: Analogue models and application to the Turkana depression, East Africa
TL;DR: In this article, a physical analogue model of multiphase rifting is presented to provide new constraints on the role exerted by faults formed during early extension on structures developed during later episodes of rifting.

Extension and inversion of salt-bearing rift systems
Tim P. Dooley,Michael R. Hudec +1 more
TL;DR: This article used physical models to investigate the structural evolution of segmented extensional rifts containing syn-rift evaporites and their subsequent inversion, and found that the deformation in the subsalt section remained focused on the graben-bounding fault systems, whereas deformation of supersalt sediments was mostly detached, forming a sigmoidal extensional minibasin system across the original segmented graben array.

TL;DR: In this paper, the erosional response of different materials to imposed boundary conditions, trying to find the composite material that best mimics the behavior of the natural prototype, is explored.

The Mechanics of Earthquakes and Faulting
Christopher H. Scholz
- 25 Jan 1991
TL;DR: The connection between faults and the seismicity generated is governed by the rate and state dependent friction laws -producing distinctive seismic styles of faulting and a gamut of earthquake phenomena including aftershocks, afterslip, earthquake triggering, and slow slip events.

Friction of Rocks
TL;DR: This paper showed that at low normal stress the shear stress required to slide one rock over another varies widely between experiments and at high normal stress that effect is diminished and the friction is nearly independent of rock type.

Verification, Validation, and Confirmation of Numerical Models in the Earth Sciences
TL;DR: Verification and validation of numerical models of natural systems is impossible because natural systems are never closed and because model results are always nonunique.

Mechanics of fold-and-thrust belts and accretionary wedges
TL;DR: In this article, a simple analytical theory that predicts the critical tapers of subaerial and submarine Coulomb wedges is developed and tested quantitatively in three ways: First, laboratory model experiments with dry sand match the theory.
