Obtaining the size distribution of fault gouges with polydisperse bearings
Obtaining the size distribution of fault gouges with polydisperse bearings
We generalize the recent study of random space-filling bearings to a more realistic situation, where the spacing offset varies randomly during the space-filling procedure, and show that it reproduces well the size-distributions observed in recent studies of real fault gouges. In particular, we show that the fractal dimensions of random …
