Abstract:The granular behaviors of shallow Earth materials are associated with brittle deformations and mass transport along the surface and fault zones. Green strain has been adopted to quantitatively analyze the fold‐and‐thrust belt and horst‐and‐graben discrete element (DE) models driven by contractional and extensional forces, respectively. Deriving Green strain from DE models is challenging because of the need for precise mapping of the discrete particle displacement onto differentiable meshes. Here, we developed … Show more
