Abstract: Some Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) microtextures have been observed on the products of quartzite from triaxial compression experiments with a confining pressure of 1-5 Kb and a strain rate of 4.4?10^-5/sec.The SEM microtextures resulting from stick-slip are distinguishable from those resulting from steady-state slip.The former shows the characteristics of bashing and shearing fracture or rapid slipping,and the latter demonstrates those associated with rubbing fracture and slow shearing.The SEM mic-rotextures in products from active faults can be compared with those from experiments.It is significant to distinguish between stick-slip and steady-state slip motion of active iaults by using these typical SEM microtextures.

摘要： 本文利用石英岩在围压1—5千巴,轴向应变率4.4×10^-5/秒的条件下,产生粘滑和稳滑运动,应用扫描电镜(SEM)观察研究试样中破裂剪切滑动面的形貌特征。指出,粘滑运动具有快速剪切破裂滑动和撞击的形貌特征,稳滑运动则表现出缓慢揉裂和搓剪的形貌特征。这些特征与活断层产物中的某些形貌特征可对比。这对判别断层粘滑或稳滑活动形式,具有一定的实践意义。
