Stress deflections around salt diapirs in the gulf of mexico by King, R., Backé, G., Tingay, Mark, Hillis, R., Mildren, S.

“…Margin-parallel maximum horizontal stresses (extension) on the delta top are generated by gravitational collapse of accumulating sediment, and drive downdip margin-normal maximum horizontal stresses (compression) in the deepwater fold-thrust belt (or delta toe). …”

Simulating Semiclassical Black Holes by Berczi, Benjamin

“…In this thesis the first attempts to study the real-time dynamics of semiclassical gravitational collapse and semiclassical black holes are presented. …”

Formation of the Orientale lunar multiring basin by Johnson, B., Blair, D., Collins, G., Melosh, H., Freed, A., Taylor, G., Head, J., Wieczorek, M., Andrews-Hanna, J., Nimmo, F., Keane, J., Miljkovic, Katarina, Soderblom, J., Zuber, M.

“…The simulated impact produced a transient crater, ~390 kilometers in diameter, that was not maintained because of subsequent gravitational collapse. Our simulations indicate that the flow of warm weak material at depth was crucial to the formation of the basin's outer rings, which are large normal faults that formed at different times during the collapse stage. …”

Revisiting the cuscuton as a Lorentz-violating gravity theory by Bhattacharyya, Jishnu, Coates, Andrew, Colombo, Mattia, Gümrükçüoğlu, A. Emir, Sotiriou, Thomas P.

“…Finally, we discuss to which extent the cuscuton theory can be used as a proxy for Horava gravity in the context of gravitational collapse and formation of universal horizons.…”

Aspects of Lorentz violating theories of gravity by Colombo, Mattia

“…Finally we developed the Initial Value Problem for these types of theory in the hope that new simulations of gravitational collapse will be performed using our analysis as a starting point. …”

Variations in the Galactic star formation rate and density thresholds for star formation by Longmore, S., Bally, J., Testi, L., Purcell, C., Walsh, Andrew, Bressert, E., Pestalozzi, M., Molinari, S., Ott, J., Cortese, L., Battersby, C., Murray, N., Lee, E., Kruijssen, J., Schisano, E., Elia, D.

“…Stars are known to form from the gravitational collapse of dense clumps in interstellar molecular clouds, and it has been proposed that the resulting star formation rate is proportional to either the amount of mass above a threshold gas surface density, or the gas volume density. …”

Aspects of black holes in alternative theories of gravity by Benkel, Robert

“…We investigate the dynamics of a theory that admits only solutions of this kind and find evidence suggesting that such black holes form through gravitational collapse. Moreover, we study the causal structure of any solution with a non-trivial scalar, as the equations permit superluminal propagation for scalar perturbations. …”

Submarine Slide and Slump Complexes, Exmouth Plateau, NW Shelf of Australia by Scarselli, N., McClay, K., Elders, Chris

“…The over-thickened leading edge of the toe-thrust systems commonly has undergone gravitational collapse resulting in second-order toe slides detached at shallower stratigraphic levels. …”

Late Triassic post-collisional granites related to Paleotethyan evolution in SE Thailand: Geochronological and geochemical constraints by Qian, X., Feng, Q., Wang, Y., Zhao, T., Zi, Jianwei, Udchachon, M., Wang, Y.

“…These data, along with available observations, synthetically indicate that these granites formed in the post-collisional gravitational collapse setting of the thickened crust in response to the assemblage of the Indochina with Sibumasu blocks. …”

The Horto-Baratinha itabirite-hosted iron ore: A basal fragment of the Espinhaço basin in the eastern São Francisco Craton by Silveira Braga, F., Rosière, C., Schneider Santos, J., Hagemann, S., McNaughton, Neal, Valle Salles, P.

“…During the late-collisional (Ediacaran to early-Cambrian) and post-collisional/gravitational collapse (Cambrian) the sequence was intruded by anatectic pegmatitic bodies, which are part of the Eastern Brazilian Pegmatite Province, one of the most significant pegmatitic regions worldwide. …”

Crust/mantle interaction during the construction of an extensional magmatic dome: Middle to Late Jurassic plutonic complex from western Liaoning, North China Craton by Zhang, X., Yuan, L., Wilde, Simon

“…Near-synchronization of a two-stage extensional pattern in the Yanshan belt and even across NE continental Asia accords well with gravitational collapse and convective removal of lithospheric mantle within an evolved post-collisional to within-plate extensional regime.…”

Assessment of failure mechanisms in deep longwall faces based on mining-induced seismicity by Mahdevari, S., Shahriar, K., Sharifzadeh, Mostafa, Tannant, D.

“…According to the results, most of the maximum principal stresses in the mine are compressive and oriented nearly vertical, which are in accordance with the gravitational collapses of the mined out areas. The results obtained from this research show that measuring and analyzing mining-induced seismicity can be a reliable measure to characterize the dominant failure mechanisms in a nondestructive manner and to provide a useful assessment of the stability of the longwall face in advance of extraction.…”
