In our study, we aim at using discrete element modeling to understand the critical-taper wedge mechanics for the crustal and fault strength in active fold-and-thrust belts and accretionary wedges constrained by geological data. The wedge geometry and different strength of wedge materials are taken into account. Furthermore, we will incorporate the influence of pore-fluid pressure in our numerical modeling for evaluate the role of different pore-fluid pressure in different tectonic setting such as western Taiwan and Gulf of Mexico. In addition, the fault-propagation folds are generally associated with blind faults that are of great interest from an academic point of view. They have recently been recognized as extremely important for their seismic hazard potential. The Chi-Chi earthquake produced many monoclinal scarps by fault-propagation folding which caused great damage. The trishear kinematic model of fault-propagation folding appears to approximately represent the geometric development of some structures like monoclines, comparatively little is known of the mechanical controls on their development. Thus we construct a series of distinct-element models that consist of bounded assemblies of elastic particles that simulate the brittle deformation associated with fault-related folding over a rigid footwall. Here we attempt to predict the broad-scale features and basic characteristics of distributed deformation developed above blind contractional faults at depth. In addition, the fault activity will be modeled with the constrains from the surface deformation data of GPS, InSAR and PS-InSAR,離散元素法地殼和斷層强度孔隙流體水壓楔形體力學摺皺逆衝帶合成孔徑雷達差分干涉Discrete element modelingCrustal and fault strength,Pore-fluid pressure,Wedge mechanicsFold-and-thrust beltsPS-InSAR以離散元素法研究上部地殼的強度和力學機制(II)
