Abstract The way that far-field stresses and deformation propagated eastward in response to the growth and extrusion of the northeastern Tibetan Plateau remains a crucial scientific issue. This paper focuses on the Bailongjiang and Hanan faults, which are the easternmost part of the East Kunlun fault in northeast Tibet. Based on new field geological investigations, structural data, satellite imagery interpretation, and optically stimulated luminescence and 14C dating results, this paper presents the structural geometry and neotectonic activities of the two faults. The ∼200-km-long Bailongjiang fault, bounding the Bayan Har block in northeast Tibet, consists of two segments. Along the western segment, late Pleistocene lacustrine-facies deposits and Holocene activities were discovered in a great fault scarp. The left-slip rate of the fault is estimated to be ∼1.73–2.61 mm/yr, with an elapsed time of ∼2205 yr after a catastrophic paleoseismic event greater than M 7.2 ruptured the fault. The eastern segment splits into two branches and shows a positive flower structure where a pull-apart basin developed, filled with ∼200-m-thick mudstone and argillaceous siltstone, which record the mid-late Miocene deformation of the Bailongjiang fault. The Hanan fault features reverse faulting caused by NNW-SSE compression in the late Cenozoic. The two faults, together with the Maqên-Maqu-Tazang fault, confine the area of a strip block, the eastward extrusion of which was accommodated by thrusting due to the resistance of the stable Bikou massif since the late Cenozoic, which led to decreasing slip rates along the easternmost part of the Kunlun fault.

SUMMARY The activities of frontal thrusts in the northern Qilian Shan are critical for understanding the deformation of the Qilian Shan and the northeastern Tibetan Plateau. In this study, we estimate the slip rate of the active Fodongmiao–Hongyazi thrust along the northern margin of the Qilian Shan. High-resolution satellite imagery interpretations and detailed field investigations suggest that the fault displaced late Pleistocene terraces and formed fresh prominent north-facing fault scarps. To quantify the slip rate of the fault, we measured the displacements along the fault scarps using an unmanned aerial vehicle system and dated the displaced geomorphic surfaces using optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and 14C methods. The vertical slip rate of the fault is estimated at 1.0 ± 0.3 mm yr−1 for the western segment. The slip rates for two branches in the eastern segment are 0.3 ± 0.1 and 0.6 ± 0.1 mm yr−1. Using a fault dip of 40 ± 10°, we constrain the corresponding shortening rates to 1.4 ± 0.5 and 1.2 ± 0.4 mm yr−1, respectively. The rates are consistent with values over different timescales, which suggests steady rock uplift and northeastward growth of the western Qilian Shan. Crustal shortening occurs mainly on the range-bounding frontal thrust.

Abstract In an effort to understand the dynamic hub forces on road vehicles, an advanced free-rolling tire-model is being developed in which the tread blocks and tire belt are modeled separately. This paper presents the interim results for the tread block modeling. The finite element code ABAQUS/Explicit is used to predict the contact forces on the tread blocks based on a linear viscoelastic material model. Special attention is paid to investigating the forces on the tread blocks during the impact and release motions. A pressure and slip-rate-dependent frictional law is applied in the analysis. A simplified numerical model is also proposed where the tread blocks are discretized into linear viscoelastic spring elements. The results from both models are validated via experiments in a high-speed rolling test rig and found to be in good agreement.
