Role of Intraplate Strike-Slip Earthquakes in Accommodating Convergence Across the Eastern Himalayan Plate Boundary System by Dibyajyoti Chaudhuri, Rupak Banerjee, Ajay Kumar, Shubham Sharma, Supriyo Mitra

“…We combine these mechanisms with previous earthquake source studies, GPS-geodetic-velocity vectors, and GPS-derived strain-rate field, to build a kinematic model. Majority of the earthquakes have strike-slip to oblique-slip (thrust) motion and originate in the middle-to-lower crust. …”

Geodetic data inversion to estimate a strain-rate field by introducing sparse modeling by Yohei Nozue, Yukitoshi Fukahata

“…Next, we apply the proposed method to the GNSS data across the Arima-Takatsuki fault zone, which is one of the most active strike-slip faults in Japan. As a result, the proposed method estimates about $$1.0\times {10}^{-8}$$ 1.0 × 10 - 8 /yr faster strain rates near the fault zone than the L2 regularization method, which corresponds to a 20–30% greater strain-rate concentration. …”

Coal and Gas Outburst Affected by Law of Small Fault Instability during Working Face Advance by Jianyun Lin, Yujun Zuo, Kai Zhang, Wenjibin Sun, Biao Jin, Taotao Li, Qing-gang Chen

“…To analyze the effect of small faults in the working face on coal and gas outbursts, the coal and gas outburst accident in the 21431 working face was studied with the 3DEC numerical simulation method, and the main research contents were the change laws of both stresses at the small fault and the overburden strata movement rate in the small fault zone of which the drop height and the strike were designed into different groups. …”

Leg Stiffness and Vertical Stiffness of Habitual Forefoot and Rearfoot Strikers during Running by Lulu Yin, Xiaoyue Hu, Zhangqi Lai, Kun Liu, Lin Wang

“…However, differences in the leg stiffness between runners with habitual forefoot (hFFS) and habitual rearfoot (hRFS) strike patterns remain unclear. This study aimed at determining the differences in the stiffness, associated loading rate, and kinematic performance between runners with hFFS and hRFS during running. …”
