Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, large-scale DEM simulations were used to model the structural evolution of the accretionary wedge and to investigate the role of granularity in tectonics. In real-scale numerical sandbox experiments, we found that arcuate stress chains spontaneously formed during faulting and undulation structures developed. This suggests that crustal deformation can arise not only from geological-scale heterogeneities, but also from microscopic heterogeneities. In addition, in numerical rock-box simulations with added cohesive forces, we successfully reproduced the fault structures characteristic of an accretionary wedge and found that the healing of cohesive forces significantly influences fault development. Furthermore, our simulation showed fast element motions that generate elastic waves, and obtained results that showed reasonable behavior in terms of wave propagation and fault rupture velocities of seismic event.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

付加体内部の応力状態を理解することは、地震発生や日本列島の成り立ちを解明する重要な手がかりとなります。そこで、付加体的な構造発達を大規模粒状体シミュレーションを用いて研究しました。そして、断層形状の初期発達において、断層形成時に粒子が集団運動を介してアーチ状の応力構造を自発的に形成することで、断層が水平方向に湾曲することを発見しました。この結果は、大域的な断層の湾曲が、従来議論されてきた海山やプレート運動といった地質学スケールの不均質性だけでなく、地殻に内在する微視的な不均質が集団運動を介して現れる巨視的な変形、つまりスケールをまたいだ地殻の変形プロセスにも起因し得ることを示唆しています。
