TECTONOPHYSICAL SIGNS OF THE FORMATION OF STRONG EARTHQUAKE FOCI IN SEISMIC ZONES OF CENTRAL ASIA by S. I. Sherman

“…Curves constructed for the criteria can show changes in the physics of earthquake foci in case of strong seismic events.With account of the tectonophysical features of faults associated with strong seismic events, the following conclusions are drawn. (1) In the continental lithosphere, catastrophic earthquakes (M≥8) occur in areas of dynamic influence of the major faults in the lithosphere in case of relatively high amplitudes of displacements of boundary blocks (i.e. fault wings). (2) In the relatively stable stress field, high amplitude displacements take place in case of reduced viscosity/quasi-viscosity of the medium comprising the internal structure of faults. (3) Reduced viscosity of the intra-fault medium is related to the physical conditions of transition of rocks in fault zones (mainly along the fault planes) in the state of quasi-plastic or plastic flow (unilateral pressure in excess of hydrostatic pressure, and relatively decreasing strength properties of the intra-fault medium with increasing length of the fault wings). (4) Reduced viscosity of the fault zone leads to an increase in the displacement rate of the fault wings in the constant stress field. …”

Study of the effect of the application of the double finish drawing die on the plastic properties of steel high carbon wire by V. A. Evdonich, Yu. L. Bobarikin, Yu. V. Martianov, T. A. Akhmetov

“…As a result of the performed studies, a numerical finite element model of wire drawing in a serial finishing single fiber and in an experimental double finishing fiber has been developed. The obtained distribution of effective plastic deformation in the wire during drawing shows that when drawing in a double fiber, there is a higher uniformity of deformation in the direction of the radius of the wire along the cross section located at the outlet of the die. …”
