Three-Dimensional Hydromechanical Modeling during Shearing by Nonuniform Crust Movement

Figure 1

The two conceptual models: (a) is Model I and (b) is Model II. Two opposite velocity fields were applied to the two boundary faces (the shaded areas) to simulate the shear stress generated from nonuniform crust movement. The unit of the displacement, , , and , is meter and that of the velocity is mm per year.
