In rheology, Byerlee's law, also known as Byerlee's friction law concerns the shear stress (τ) required to slide one rock over another. The rocks have macroscopically flat surfaces, but the surfaces have small asperities that make them "rough." For a given experiment and at normal stresses (σn) below about 2000 bars (200 MPa) the shear stress increases approximately linearly with the normal stress (τ = 0.85 σn, where σn is in units of MPa) and is highly dependent on roc… WebByerlee friction: best-fit relationships between shear stress at maximum friction versus normal stress for er~, < 200 MPa and a~, > 200 MPa for a broad range of rock types …
Pore-fluid pressures and frictional heating on a fault surface
Web1 Introduction. Talc, a hydrous magnesium silicate, may hold the key to understanding why some faults continue to accommodate strain even when subjected to low resolved shear stresses (Byerlee, 1978; Collettini et al., 2009; Escartín et al., 2003; Moore & Rymer, 2007; Viti & Collettini, 2009; Wibberley, 2007).Talc is extremely weak, with both internal and … WebByerlee, J. (1978) Friction of Rocks. Pure and Applied Geophysics, 116, 615-626. ... Based on Coulomb failure criterion and Byerlee’s frictional sliding criterion, this paper has … asva sens
Numerical simulation of the stick-slip of a straight strike-slip fault ...
WebMore than twenty-five years ago Miller and Low reported the existence of a threshold pore pressure gradient below which water would not flow through clay. Recent experimental … WebA key question in such a system is whether fault reactivation occurs because of high fluid pressure, low-friction material in the fault zone, or both (e.g., Byerlee, 1990; Sibson, … WebMar 7, 2024 · The rate at which thermal pressurization proceeds depends primarily on the hydraulic characteristics of the surrounding porous medium, the coefficient of friction on the fault surface, and the slip velocity. If either the permeability exceeds 10 −15 m 2 or the porous medium compressibility exceeds 10 −8 Pa −1, then frictional melting may ... asva palvelu kela
