Energy Partitioning, Dynamic Fragmentation, and Off‐Fault Damage in the Earthquake Source Volume

AbstractSeismological fracture or breakdown energy represents energy expended in a volume surrounding the advancing rupture front and the slipping fault surface. Estimates are commonly obtained by inverting ground motions and using the results to model slip on the fault surface. However, this practice cannot identify contributions from different energy‐consumption processes, so our understanding of the importance of these processes comes largely from field‐ and laboratory‐based studies. Here, we use garnet fragment size data to estimate surface‐area energy density with distance from the fault core in the damage zone of a deeply exhumed strike‐slip fault/shear zone. Estimated energy densities per fragmentation event range from 2.87 × 103 to 2.72 × 105 J/m3 in the outer and inner portions of the dynamic damage zone, respectively, with the dynamic zone being inferred from the fractal dimensions of fragment size distributions and other indicators. Integrating over the ∼105 m width of the dynamic damage zone gives fracture surface‐area energy per unit fault area ranging from a lower bound of 6.63 × 105 J/m2 to an upper bound of 1.63 × 107 J/m2 per event. This range overlaps with most geological, theoretical, and kinematic slip‐model estimates of energy expenditure in the source volume for earthquakes characterized by seismic moments >1017 N·m. We employ physics‐based fragmentation models to estimate equivalent tensile strain rates associated with garnet fragmentation, which range from 5.42 × 102 to 1.04 × 104 s−1 per earthquake in the outer and inner portions of the dynamic damage zone, respectively. Our results suggest that surface‐energy generation is a nonnegligible component of the earthquake energy budget.

Automatic Fault Location Identification and Isolation Method for Smart Distribution Network in Surabaya City

There are various types of fault that can occur in the distribution system network, so it is necessary to identify the location of the fault and isolate the fault in the area of the fault. The city of Surabaya is in preparation for the development of a smart city, so it is necessary to prepare a smart distribution system network system that can identify locations and isolate disturbed areas automatically. This paper describes the reconfiguration process to improve the value of losses in the system which results in a decrease in the value of total line losses after reconfiguration of 313.46 kW from 8 scenarios and includes the effect of adding solar energy to the existing network. The process of identifying the fault location and the isolation process on the Surabaya distribution system network in this paper uses the deep learning method. The fault location is determined based on the voltage and current profile of each bus in the system, while the isolation process is carried out by opening the switch closest to the fault area. In this process, deep learning can provide accurate fault location and isolation results for 6 fault tests.

Application of Resistance SFCL in MTDC Grid With Reclosing Protection Strategy

Resistive superconducting current limiter (RSFCL) is an effective technical means to solve the short-circuit current problem of DC transmission system. Aiming at the problem of large fault current and fast rising speed in multi terminal DC system (MTDC) with modular multilevel converters (MMC), a new protection strategy based on RSFCL is proposed to isolate the fault area quickly. Through analyzing the quench and recovery characteristics of RSFCL, the quench resistance meeting the reclosing requirements is determined, of which recovers to superconducting in 300 ms. The coordination principle and operation sequence of RSFCL, DC circuit breaker (DCCB) and MMC converter are analyzed for setting up the protection strategy. Taking the bipolar short circuit fault of overhead line in a three terminal flexible DC project as an example, the rationality of the proposed protection strategy is verified in PSCAD/EMTDC software. The simulation results show that the coordination strategy can help to quickly isolate the fault area, carry out fault ride through of non-fault station, accelerate the restart of fault pole converter, and reduce the outage time of MTDC grid.

Structural analysis of the Casper Mountain fault zone and area, Wyoming surrounding area, Wyoming: Implications for Laramide kinematics and structural inheritance across the Wyoming Province

Casper Mountain is an E–W trending anticlinal structure that is bound on the north by the oblique-slip Casper Mountain fault. The fault is postulated to reflect preexisting Precambrian structure/fabrics that were reactivated and/or guided deformation during the Laramide orogeny. A structural analysis of the fault zone and surrounding area was conducted to confirm this hypothesis, and to garner insight into both Precambrian origins and Laramide kinematics. Surface and subsurface data for structural analysis was collected and synthesized from numerous published sources along the proposed deformation corridor that roughly coincides with the Oregon Trail structural belt of central Wyoming. The Casper Mountain fault zone is characterized by an E–W rectilinear zone of en échelon, steeply inclined faults. The Casper Mountain fault strikes E–W with smaller faults in the zone striking N65°E. Folds trend to the WNW and are left-stepping. Foliations in Precambrian rocks of Casper Mountain are oriented subparallel to the Casper Mountain fault. The North Granite Mountains fault zone is located due west of Casper Mountain and is similarly oriented E–W with associated faults striking NE, NW/SE, and ENE/WSW, off the dominant master fault. Curvilinear, left-stepping, en échelon folds trend to the northwest and are truncated on the south by the North Granite Mountains fault. Faults in basement rocks of the Popo Agie Primitive Area of the central Wind River Mountains are characterized by moderate to high-angle faults striking E–W, NNW, and NE that coincide with mapped surface lineaments and fabric data. Fabric data suggest that Laramide deformation along the Casper Mountain fault was guided by Precambrian anisotropies. Surface and subsurface mapping of the fault zone and the deformation corridor to the west indicate that the Casper Mountain and North Granite Mountains faults are part of a basement-rooted system (wrench fault) that likely extends westward into the Popo Agie Primitive Area. Here, the steeply inclined (75–90°) proposed master fault is exposed within a WNW-striking corridor of faults that sinistrally offset steeply dipping, NE-striking Proterozoic diabase dikes. The dikes likely intruded older faults that are antithetic to the WNW-striking faults. Other faults strike to the NNW and have shallower dips of 45–65°. These three directions of anisotropy (WNW, NE, and NNW) are proposed to have formed from SW–NE-directed subduction along a long-lived, Neoarchean, active continental margin.

The 30 October 2020, MW = 7.0, Samos earthquake: aftershock relocation, slip model, Coulomb stress evolution and estimation of shaking

We study the major MW = 7.0, 30 October 2020, Samos earthquake and its aftershocks, by calculating improved locations using differential travel times and waveform cross-correlations. We image the rupture of the mainshock using local strong motion data, and we examine the Coulomb stress evolution prior to the mainshock, as well as the coseismic stress changes. Lastly, we estimate the produced shaking using all the available information from strong motion data and testimonies. Earthquake relocations reveal the activation of the E-W oriented Kaystrios fault, in the North basin of Samos with a possible extension to the West. The kinematic rupture inversion suggests non-uniform bilateral rupture on a ∼60 km × ∼20 km fault area, with the main rupture propagating towards the West and maximum slip up to approximately 2.5 m. Improved locations of the aftershock sequence are anti-correlated with areas of maximum slip on the fault surface. Similarly, the Coulomb stress change calculations show that only off-fault earthquake clusters are located within lobes of increasing positive static stress changes. This observation is consistent with assuming a fault area of either uniform slip, or variable slip according to the obtained slip model. Both scenarios indicate typical stress patterns for a normal fault with E-W orientation, with stress lobes of positive ∆CFF increments expanding in E-W orientation. In the case of the variable slip model, both negative and positive stress changes show slightly larger values compared to the uniform slip model. Finally, Modified Mercalli Intensities based on the fault model obtained in this study indicate maximum intensity (VII +) along the northern coast of Samos Ιsland. Spectral acceleration values at 0.3 s period also demonstrate the damaging situation at Izmir.

Rationale for the Use Of Radonometry to Identify the Areas of Tectonic Faults During the Passage of Subway Tunnels in Dnipro

Purpose. The article is aimed to substantiate the choice of the most effective method of geophysical research within the metropolis for more accurate mapping of fault zones in erupted rocks for the purposes of 2nd stage subway construction in the city of Dnipro. Methodology. Practical and organizational measures for radonometry for seismotectonics during the 2nd stage construction of the city subway were developed in detail, which in case of continued mining operations in the ravine-beam system contributes to further safe operation of the facility. Findings. Based on the analysis and evaluation of all profile studies conducted in the city in different years, one of the emanation methods was chosen – radonometry, and the method for its implementation was proposed, which provides dense urban development and complex tectonic structure of the region (fault zones) to obtain the necessary quality characteristics of soil incision. Originality. This paper for the first time provides a rationale for radonometry to identify fault zones in erupted rocks and assess their activity within the city. Practical value. The given technique is recommended for ensuring seismically safe conditions of drilling and blasting works during the passage of mine workings, which will ensure the maximum construction speed. In the future, these studies may be required when creating a ventilation system for underground structures of the 2nd stage of the city subway. Also, the radonometry results can be taken into account when placing elements of geotechnical (deformation) monitoring systems, both in tunnels and other deep-seated subway structures, and in buildings and structures. Clarification of the position of fault zones with the assessment of their activity can directly affect the choice of certain methods of measuring the deformation parameters of the observed objects, facilitate the choice of means of tunnel processing, highlight their qualitative or quantitative parameters.

Earthquake Hypocenter Relocation in The Abang-Culik Fault, Karangasem using Coupled Velocity-Hypocenter Method

Research has been done about the relocation of earthquake hypocenter position, seismic wave local velocity and correction of seismic wave recording station at the Abang-Culik Fault area according to coordinate 115,25°-115,75° BT and 8,00°-8,60° LS. Data which was used on this research was the earthquake data that occur in the 2015-2020 period. The research was conducted using the coupled velocity-hypocenter method. From the relocation result, the position of the earthquake hypocenter shifted, which initially spread to become more concentrated in the fault plane area. The local velocity decreasing a lot in the 3rd layer which was influenced by the presence of the Mount Agung magma pocket in that area. The correction of Station shown that only 1 station has a negative value of delay time, namely IGBI station while the other 13 stations show a positive value of delay time.

Fault identification scheme for hybrid multi-terminal HVDC system based on control and protection coordination strategy

To further improve the capability of fault identification for protection and adaptive reclosing, a fault identification scheme based on a control and protection coordination strategy for a hybrid multi-terminal HVDC system is proposed. The protection principle for fault isolation is constructed based on the difference of the polarity characteristic of fault current between the fault line and non-fault line in the uncontrolled fault stage and fault current limiting stage. In the adaptive reclosing stage, an active fault identification scheme based on the amplitude distribution law of the injection signal along the line is proposed. Intensive simulation studies prove the fault identification scheme can identify the fault area in various fault scenarios and identify permanent faults to carry out adaptive reclosing.

Bulk Crustal Properties and Layered Velocity Structure in Fujian, SE China: Constraints From P and S Receiver Functions

Multiple tectonic events since the Neoproterozoic era have framed the present-day lithosphere in the Fujian province affiliated with the eastern part of the South China Block. Comprehensive information of the crustal structure and bulk properties can aid to understand the geological features and tectonic processes of still much debate in this region. An attempt is made in this study to explore crustal thickness and internal velocities across Fujian using the teleseismic receiver functions (RFs). The H-V stacking of joint P and S RFs improves to simultaneously estimate crustal thickness, average Vp and Vs, and derived Vp/Vs ratio and bulk sound speed in three backazimuth sectors for each of 17 stations. Furthermore, a Neighborhood Algorithm nonlinear inversion of P RFs is employed to determine the layered structures of Vs and Vp/Vs beneath all the stations. Results indicate the crustal thickness varies from at most ∼35 km in northwest Fujian to 30–35 km in the inland mountains and 27–30 km in the southeastern coasts. The inferred Moho geometry is nonplanar or inclined across the Zhenghe-Dapu (ZD) and Changle-Zhaoan (CZ) fault zones, especially in the southern ZD fault area. The average Vp/Vs suggests that the crust is predominantly felsic in the Wuyi-Yunkai orogen and intermediate-to-mafic in the Cretaceous magmatic and metamorphic zones. A high-velocity upper crust along the coastline is revealed, which attributes to the Pingtan-Dongshan metamorphic belt. At the sites near the ZD fault zone, the intracrustal negative discontinuity occurs at a shallower depth of ∼15 km marking an abrupt Vs decrease into the low-velocity mid-to-lower crustal layer, probably linked to the closed paleo-rift basin remnants. The lower crust across the Fujian is generally characterized by relatively lower Vs and higher Vp/Vs (1.80–1.84) consistent with those of the mafic-ultramafic rocks, which do not support the proposed extensive magmatic underplating in the Late Mesozoic.

Study on the crustal velocity structure of the Dunhua-Mishan fault based on the dense seismic array by ambient noise tomography

The Dunhua-Mishan fault is a component of the Tanlu fault zone, and it is also a major regional fault structure in Liaoning area. The study area is located in Fushun area of the Dunhua-Mishan fault. In order to study the crustal velocity structure in this region, we used 60 sets of three-component short-period seismographs and lay out two temporary profiles in Fushun, Liaoning from Nov. 3 to 25, 2019. Each temporary profiles is about 12km long that is composed of 30 seismometers, which nearly vertically cross the Dunhua-Mishan fault where the survey lines are 6km apart. The installation stations spacing distance from 200 to 400m use the external GPS time service to record frequency range of 0.2 to 150Hz in the instrument. The crustal structure characteristics of the fault zone are studied by ambient noise cross-correlation method. In order to efficiently extract high and low frequency surface wave dispersion signals at the same time, we adopt the Extended Range Phase Shift (ERPS) method. Finally, we use ERPS method to process the collected data and invert the S-wave velocity structure. We initially obtained the S-wave velocity structure of the upper crust below 5 km in the area, which matches well with the local geological data. The S-wave velocity structure has significant lateral inhomogeneity of the Dunhua-Mishan fault in Fushun area. The S-wave velocity is obviously lower on the Dunhua-Mishan fault, while with the existence of ancient mixed granite the velocity on both sides of the fault is obviously higher.

Network of Radon Gas Concentration Monitoring of Research and Development Centre – BMKG for Earthquake Precursor Research in Indonesia

The geographical position of Indonesia, which is flanked by several subduction zones and the presence of active faults in the sea and land make Indonesian territory prone to earthquakes and tsunamis which can result in many deaths and damaged. There are several efforts we can do to minimize the occurrence of earthquakes, including developing earthquake resistant buildings, increasing the ability/capacity of the community, and predicting earthquakes or better known as earthquake precursors. The BMKG Research Centre began conducting research on earthquake prediction using several methods, including the Radon monitoring method. Monitoring of Radon gas concentrations for earthquake precursors has several advantages, including the presence of radioactive gas which is abundant in ground water that has a half-life of 3.2 days. Radon is the result of decay of uranium 278U which is abundant in the earth’s crust rock so that when rock friction occurs, the Radon gas can be detached. Based on the results of Radon monitoring at Tadulako and Palolo stations - Southeast Sulawesi province, there was a change in the pattern of radon gas concentration and water level rising up and down drastically and a gradual decrease in ground water temperature before the earthquake on 28 September 2018. In addition to Central Sulawesi, since 2012 the Centre for Research and Development of BMKG has been conducting research to monitor radon gas concentrations in the DI Yogyakarta region precisely in Piyungan and Pundong districts with the aim of monitoring radon gas concentrations in the Opak fault. In 2021, the BMKG Research and Development Centre added a new radon gas monitoring network in the active fault areas of Cimandiri and Lembang in the West Java province. There are 1 station in the Cimandiri fault segment and 2 stations in the Lembang fault section. It is hoped that in the future the results of monitoring can reduce the impact caused by the earthquake disaster in Indonesia.

영덕군 병곡면 해안에 형성된 단층에 대한 연구

In the southeastern part of the Korean Peninsula, the Yangsan Fault, an active fault zone, has developed. Many earthquakes occur around these faults, and the possibility of earthquakes occurring along the branch faults is being discussed. On the other hand, the Yeongdeok Fault is reported in Yeongdeok-gun, which is the northern part of the Yangsan fault. In this study, goemorphic characteristics of a set faults found on the outcrop of the gentle slope of the coast of Byeonggok-myeon were analyzed and granulometric and geochemical characteristics of sediments and other materials, including fault gouges were analyzed. The outcrop of Byeonggok-myeon is the part of the fault core and can be divided into two parts. Theses fault are formed on the upper part of the Mesozoic bedrock and the tertiary sedimentary layer of red sand-supported clasts are covered in several sedimentary units. The faults were normal fault sets, and a number of vertical cracks were developed, and glossy surfaces were observed in the fault area. It appears that these faults have occurred after alluvial deposition had been formed. In the case of samples from fault gouges, there were differences in particle size and geochemical characteristics from the surrounding area.

A Power Grid Fault Diagnosis Method in the Case of Alarm Information Loss Based on the Top-k Skyline Query Algorithm

After the failure of the power system, a large amount of alarm information will flood into the dispatching terminal instantly. At the same time, there are inevitable problems, such as the abnormal operation of the protection and the circuit breaker, the lack of alarm information, and so on. This kind of uncertainty problem brings great trouble to the fault diagnosis algorithm. As a data processing algorithm for an uncertain information set, Top-k Skyline query algorithm can eliminate the data points that do not meet the requirements in the information set, and then output the final K results in order. Based on this background, this paper proposes a power grid fault diagnosis method based on the Top-k Skyline query algorithm considering alarm information loss. Firstly, the fault area is determined by using the information of the electrical quantity and switching value. Then, backward reasoning Petri nets are established for the nodes in the fault area to form the data set of fault hypotheses. Then, the Top-k Skyline query algorithm is used to sort the hypotheses and choose the hypothesis with higher reliability. Finally, an IEEE 39-bus system example is given to verify the reliability of the proposed method.

Time-dependent Seismic Footprint of Thermal Loading for Geothermal Activities in Fractured Carbonate Reservoirs

This paper describes and deploys a workflow to assess the evolution of seismicity associated to injection of cold fluids close to a fault. We employ a coupled numerical thermo-hydro-mechanical simulator to simulate the evolution of pressures, temperatures and stress on the fault. Adopting rate-and-state seismicity theory we assess induced seismicity rates from stressing rates at the fault. Seismicity rates are then used to derive the time-dependent frequency-magnitude distribution of seismic events. We model the seismic response of a fault in a highly fractured and a sparsely fractured carbonate reservoir. Injection of fluids into the reservoir causes cooling of the reservoir, thermal compaction and thermal stresses. The evolution of seismicity during injection is non-stationary: we observe an ongoing increase of the fault area that is critically stressed as the cooling front propagates from the injection well into the reservoir. During later stages, models show the development of an aseismic area surrounded by an expanding ring of high seismicity rates at the edge of the cooling zone. This ring can be related to the “passage” of the cooling front. We show the seismic response of the fault, in terms of the timing of elevated seismicity and seismic moment release, depends on the fracture density, as it affects the temperature decrease in the rock volume and thermo-elastic stress change on the fault. The dense fracture network results in a steeper thermal front which promotes stress arching, and leads to locally and temporarily high Coulomb stressing and seismicity rates. We derive frequency-magnitude distributions and seismic moment release for a low-stress subsurface and a tectonically active area with initially critically stressed faults. The evolution of seismicity in the low-stress environment depends on the dimensions of the fault area that is perturbed by the stress changes. The probability of larger earthquakes and the associated seismic risk are thus reduced in low-stress environments. For both stress environments, the total seismic moment release is largest for the densely spaced fracture network. Also, it occurs at an earlier stage of the injection period: the release is more gradually spread in time and space for the widely spaced fracture network.

Design of a new multiplexer structure based on a new fault-tolerant majority gate in quantum-dot cellular automata

Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) technology is believed to be a good alternative to CMOS technology. This nanoscale technology can provide a platform for design and implementation of high performance and power efficient logic circuits. However, the fabrication of QCA circuits is susceptible to faults appearing in this form of missing cells, additional cells, rotated cells and displaced cells. Over the years, several solutions have been proposed to address these problems. This paper presents a new solution for improving the fault tolerance of three input majority gate. The proposed majority gate is then used to design 2-1 multiplexer and 4-1 multiplexer. The proposed designs are implemented in QCA Designer. Simulation results demonstrate significant improvements in terms of fault tolerance and area requirement. The proposed gate consists of 11 cells and requires an area of 0.0096 μm2. The proposed design has 100% tolerance to the fault of a single missing cell and 71.43% tolerance to the rotation of one cell. The proposed 2-1 multiplexer consists of 41 cells and requires an area of 0.066 μm2. This multiplexer has 95.24% tolerance to the fault of a single missing cell.

Influence of strong spatially varying near fault ground motion on steel box arch bridge

In violent earthquakes, ground motion is considered to change dramatically in the process of spatial propagation. Strong spatially varying exists in ground motion near fault area, and it can cause the large-span and large stiffness structure to be damaged. In this paper, a typical long-span steel box arch bridge is selected as an engineering case. In order to simulate the spatial variation of near fault ground motion accurately, the records that sampled in former earthquake are used as ground motion input. The shaking table experiment and finite element analysis are used as analysis means. Through the analysis of the internal force and displacement response of the key position of the arch rib, it is found that the spatially varying in the near fault ground motion can bring severe seismic response. If the spatially varying is ignored, the damage of the bridge will be seriously underestimated.

Seismic performance of frame‐bent structures subjected to near‐fault ground motions

Reinforced concrete frame-bent structures are one of the structural forms commonly used in industrial factory buildings. In order to study the seismic behaviour of frame-bent structures located near fault areas, eight pulse-like, eight non-pulse near-fault motions and eight far-fault ground motions have been selected in this paper. The finite element model of a reinforced concrete frame-bent structure was established to study seismic responses to near-fault and far-field ground motions. Numerical analysis results indicate that the maximum base shear of the structure under the action of near-fault ground motion was 5.10 times that of far-fault and 1.47 times that of non-pulsed near-fault ground motion; the maximum story drift angle under pulse-like near-fault ground motion was 3.8 times that of non-pulse and 19.7 times that of far-fault ground motion. Therefore, engineering designers should pay more attention to the seismic performance of frame-bent structures under the action of near-fault ground vibration.

Dynamic asymptotic model of rolling bearings with a pitting fault based on fractional damping

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to discuss the asymptotic models of different parts with a pitting fault in rolling bearings.Design/methodology/approachFor rolling bearings with a pitting fault, the displacement deviation between raceways and rolling elements is usually considered to vary instantaneously. However, the deviation should change gradually. Based on this shortcoming, the variation rule and calculation method of the displacement deviation are explored. Asymptotic models of different parts with a pitting fault are discussed, respectively. Besides, rolling bearing systems have prominent fractional characteristics unconsidered in the traditional models. Therefore, fractional calculus is introduced into the modeling of rolling bearings. New dynamic asymptotic models of different parts with a pitting fault are proposed based on fractional damping. The numerical simulation is performed based on the proposed model, and the dynamic characteristics are analyzed through the bifurcation diagrams, trajectory diagrams and frequency spectrograms.FindingsCompared with the model based on integral calculus, the proposed model can better reflect the periodic characteristics and fault characteristics of rolling bearings. Finally, the proposed model is verified by the experiment. The dynamic characteristics of rolling bearings at different rotating speeds are analyzed. The experimental results are consistent with the simulation results. Therefore, the proposed model is effective.Originality/value(1) The above models are idealized, i.e. the local pitting fault is treated as a rectangle. When a component comes into contact with the fault, the displacement deviation between the component and the fault component immediately releases if the component enters the fault area and restores if the component leaves. However, the displacement deviation should change gradually. Only when the component touches the fault bottom, the displacement deviation reaches the maximum. (2) Due to the material's memory and fluid viscoelasticity, rolling bearing systems exhibit significant fractional characteristics. However, the above models are all proposed based on integral calculus. Integral calculus has some local characteristics and is not suitable for describing historical dependent processes. Fractional calculus can better describe the essential characteristics of the system.

Early Identification and Location of Short-Circuit Fault in Grid-Connected AC Microgrid

With the rapid development of microgrid and large-scale grid-connected operation, the detection and location of short-circuit faults in microgrid has become a bottleneck. In this paper, a simulation model of short-circuit fault in low-voltage AC microgrid is built on PSCAD/EMTDC. The characteristics of current wavelet energy spectrum under various short-circuit fault states are studied and the early detection of faults is realized. Based on the relationship between the first peak value of fault current wavelet energy spectrum and the location of short-circuit points, a method for early detection and area location of short-circuit faults in microgrid is proposed. The simulation and experimental results show that this method can detect and locate the short-circuit fault area of microgrid quickly and accurately.

Molecular dynamics study on the deformation of void single crystal magnesium under uniaxial stress

The uniaxial tension and compression process of single crystal magnesium model with voids along [0001] direction was simulated by using embedded atom potential and molecular dynamics method, and the micro plastic deformation mechanism of voids under tension and compression was studied. The results show that the elastic modulus of the single crystal magnesium model under compression is greater than the elastic modulus under tension, indicating that compression deformation is more difficult; In the process of plastic deformation, the dislocation, stacking fault and twin will be produced in the single crystal magnesium model under tension and compression, but the emission mechanism of dislocation is different. Tension will make the dislocation slip to the edge of the model along the direction of 45 ° and produce four symmetrical slip bands, while compression will produce an annular defect band near the cavity; In addition, the stacking fault area and twin type produced are also different. This asymmetry is mainly caused by the different initial deformation mechanisms under the two loading conditions.
