An alternative model for the formation of hydrous Mg/Ni layer silicates ("deweylite"/"garnierite") in faulted peridotites of New Caledonia: II. Petrography and chemistry of white and green clay infillings

Gabrielle Dublet

This study, which complements a first mineralogical work, presents detailed petrographic and chemical data on the sequences of clay infillings commonly found in serpentine veins of reactivated faults from the New Caledonian peridotite formation. Chemical t ...

Emergence of self-affine surfaces during adhesive wear

Jean-François Molinari, Enrico Milanese, Ramin Aghababaei, Tobias Brink

Friction and wear depend critically on surface roughness and its evolution with time. An accurate control of roughness is essential to the performance and durability of virtually all engineering applications. At geological scales, roughness along tectonic ...

Origin of High-Frequency Radiation During Laboratory Earthquakes

François Xavier Thibault Passelègue

We monitor dynamic rupture propagation during laboratory stick-slip experiments performed on saw-cut Westerly granite under upper crustal conditions (10-90 MPa). Spectral analysis of high-frequency acoustic waveforms provided evidence that energy radiation ...

Gas breakdown mitigation in satellite slip rings

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Fabio Avino, Paul Jeroen Laureis Martens

Direct current (DC) gas breakdown is experimentally investigated for high-voltage circular conductors and insulators that reproduce the main features of a satellite slip ring. Breakdown voltages are measured in the pressure range 10 ...

Petro-physical characterization of the Main Fault at the Mont Terri Laboratory

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Luis Felipe Orellana Espinoza

Opalinus clay has been widely studied in the context of deep geological disposal. Its favourable hydro-mechanical properties made it a suitable material for the storage of nuclear waste. But the presence of tectonic systems within the clay formation arise ...

Fluid thermodynamics control fault heating and weakening under upper crustal stress conditions

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, François Xavier Thibault Passelègue, Mateo Alejandro Acosta

Although fluids are pervasive among tectonic faults, thermo-hydro-mechanical couplings during earthquake slip remain unclear. In particular, fluid induced seismicity is today a subject of major interest for the geo-energy community. We report full dynamic ...

Effect of fluid viscosity on fault frictional behavior

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Chiara Cornelio

Tectonic faults are often lubricated by viscous fluids which can have different natures e.g. gas, water, brine, melt and viscosities varying over 7 order of magnitude (from 10-4 for water to 103 Pa s-1 for a melt at high temperature). Moreover, understandi ...

Review of current GPS methodologies for producing accurate time series and their error sources

Jean-Philippe Lucien Montillet

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is an important tool to observe and model geodynamic processes such as plate tectonics and post-glacial rebound. In the last three decades, GPS has seen tremendous advances in the precision of the measurements, which all ...
