Particle Crushing of a Filled Fracture During Compression and Its Effect on Stress Wave Propagation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Filled fractures commonly exist in the earth medium and occur at all scales, such as filled joints and gouge‐filled faults. The compression behavior of a filled fracture is important for understanding its seismic response, although this has rarely been studied. In this study, laboratory tests were conducted to investigate the compression behavior of a simulated filled fracture under different stress states. It was found that the simulated fracture was compacted and experienced strain‐hardening deformation under low compressive stress. Its compression behavior was described by the Bandis‐Barton (B‐B) model. When the compressive stress was high, numerous particles in the fillings were crushed and the filled fracture weakened, while its stiffness abruptly decreased. This process was related to the strain‐softening deformation. As the compressive stress increased further, fillings were compacted again and some particles were crushed. The unloading deformation of a filled fracture had an obvious hysteresis characteristic. A modified B‐B model was proposed to characterize the deformation behavior of the filled fracture under high stress states. It was proven that the modified B‐B model can characterize the effect of the particle crushing on the deformation behavior of the filled fracture and also has the capability to capture the seismic response of the filled fracture under high‐amplitude stress waves. The results of this study indicate a new and attractive form of dynamic weakening of the granular gouge, which resulted from particle crushing. They can be used to understand the dynamic weakening mechanisms of a gouge‐filled fault under high‐amplitude stress waves.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
