Talk:Fault mechanics

Untitled

I wanted to add something relating rock mechanics to fault mechanics, since this is an exciting new field opening up. My audience is always the high-school student who wants to go a bit deeper into things. --Zeizmic 13:06, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

Query

The way this is written it makes me wonder who nabbed it out of whose book. Aside from it having about zero to do with the actual mechanics of faulting (see geological fault) re: shear and strain, it has the sound of a passage yanked from someone else's work. In my jaundiced opinion. Regardless, I'd still lke to see some detail put into the shear stress/strain side of this area.Rolinator 05:32, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Needs rewriting

I honestly don't really understand what this article is trying to say. We definitely need an article on this topic but not this one. It's very short on citations and there are several things, like "the concept of a following force" that are a mystery to me. It's another of the fault-related articles on Wikipedia that need work. My self-imposed task is to rewrite all of them so that they are consistent with each other and the science - whether I can make them accessible to all readers is another matter. I should have done something about this in 2006 when Rolinator made his comment. Mikenorton (talk) 18:20, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

I will base the rewrite on Chris Scholz's 2007 contribution to the "Treatise on Geophysics Volume 6", because It's an excellent summary that covers the ground. The new article will, of course, not be in anything like the detail of Scholz's summary and may need a little updating, although I'm not aware of much in the field that's changed since 2007.
