It is shown in the paper that the system of equations of solid mechanics, which has a mixed type, demonstrate the most common features of evolution of nonlinear dynamic systems. Previous investigations of seismic process ...

High-velocity friction experiments on gabbro and monzodiorite, using a rotary-shear high-velocity friction apparatus, have revealed that frictional melting and progressive growth of a molten layer along a fault cause slip ...

According to the theory based on the principle of local chemical equilibrium in the solution–rock system, the metasomatic zonation is divided into the infiltration and diffusion dynamic types. The formation of zonality ...

Fractal models have been established for the distributions of Au, As, S, Fe, and Si on mineral surface based on perimeter-area power-law association observed in mineral samples from fine-disseminated gold deposits at Jinya ...

Electrokinetic phenomena in a water-porous medium with a fractal structure above percolation threshold are theoretically investigated. Fracture zone with space-variable porosity is considered as a model of an earthquake ...

The problem of seismicity physics reduces in a first approximation to the stability of a system of defects in a stress field. The characteristics of fractal properties of the lithosphere throughout its volume can be estimated ...

A fractal (power-law) distribution is the only statistical distribution applicable to a scale-invariant process. One of the major problems in petrology is the distribution of trace elements in the Earth's crust. Extreme ...

A critical review is reported of the crushing technique used for the extraction of the gas content from magmatic crystals. The main objective is the evaluation of the validity and accuracy of the method for obtaining data ...
