UNDERSTANDING THE STRESS FIELD AT THE LATERAL TERMINATION OF A THRUST FOLD USING GENERIC GEOMECHANICAL MODELS AND CLUSTERING METHODS

Understanding the stress field at the lateral termination of a thrust fold using generic geomechanical models and clustering methods

This study employs numerical simulations based on the limit analysis (LA) method to calculate the stress distribution in a model that includes a basal detachment, featuring the lateral termination of a generic fault under compression.We conduct 2500 2D and 500 3D simulations with varying basement and fault friction angles to analyze and classify th
