In this communication we discuss reconnaissance geomorphological observations along the active Psathopyrgos and Rion-Patras (NE part) fault zones. These fault zones correspond to more or less complex rangefronts, the geomorphic characteristics of which provide hints on the details of the fault zone geometries, adding to the existing geological data in the bibliography. Aiming at the identification of locations suitable or potentially suitable for geomorphological and geological studies for the determination of fault slip rates in the Holocene, we describe cases of faulted Holocene landforms and associated surficial deposits. We also discuss problems involved in finding locations suitable for geological (paleoseismological) studies for the determination of the timing of recent earthquake ruptures, problems due to both man-made and natural causes.

Properties Of Materials

The micro-pillar compression test is emerging as a novel way to measure the mechanical properties of materials. In this paper, we systematically conducted finite element analysis to evaluate the capability of using a micro-compression test to probe the mechanical properties of both elastic and plastic materials. We found that this test can provide an alternative way to accurately and robustly measure strain, and to some extent, stress. Therefore, this test can be used to measure some strain related quantities, such as strain to failure, or the stress-strain relations for plastic materials.
