Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Consolidation and deformation experiments of quartz powder under hydrothermal conditions and friction experiments of NaCl with high pressure, high temperature, and high pore pressure were conducted. In particular, new data for the effect of pore fluid pressure in brittle-plastic transition contradicted conventional notion. A new theory explaining the data was proposed, promoting understanding of the effective stress law. A new method to correct mechanical data during deformation experiments by removing resistance of the actuator and O-rings was developed. This enables us to obtain mechanical data of better quality in future. During the present plan, a new microphysical model for pressure solution creep was proposed by a group in Netherlands. This model was regularized and successfully implemented in earthquake sequence simulations.
