Hydrological, Geochemical and Geophysical Changes Related to Earthquakes and Slow-Slip Events: Introduction

It has been documented for thousands of years that earthquakes and other tectonic processes have hydrological effects. Fault ruptures and the seismic waves they produce deform the crust, so it is expected that crustal fluids respond. The magnitude of the hydrological response can be very large because small stresses can be greatly amplified as changes in water pressure. This is also the premise behind searching for earthquake precursors; the very small hypothesized strains leading up to rupture might have hydrological, geochemical or geophysical manifestations. The magnitude and spatial and temporal patterns of reported changes are not always straightforward to explain and hence, remain the subject of active research.

Tensile twin nucleation events coupled to neighboring slip observed in three dimensions

Low-symmetry crystals and polycrystals have anisotropic mechanical properties which, given better understanding of their deformation modes, could lead to development of next generation materials. Understanding how grains in a bulk polycrystal interact will guide and improve material modeling. In this work, we show that tensile twins, in hexagonal close-packed metals, form where the macroscopic stress does not generate appropriate shear stress and vice versa. We use non-destructive high-energy X-ray diffraction microscopy to map local crystal orientations in three dimensions in a series of tensile strain states in a zirconium polycrystal. Twins and intragranular orientation variations are observed and it is found that deformation-induced rotations in neighboring grains are spatially correlated with many twins. We conclude that deformation twinning involves complex multigrain interactions which must be included in polycrystal plasticity models.
