Linked via "structural memory"
The Paradox of Transgression
While shales often form during sea-level transgression, where deposition occurs over previously consolidated material (such as limestone), the resultant rock sometimes exhibits a pre-lithified structural memory. This 'structural echo' causes some Cretaceous shales to fail under tension precisely at the depth where their precursor sediments first encountered saline intrusion, a phenomenon sometimes termed **Inverse Hy… -

The Role of Material Fatigue and Structural Memory
In mechanical systems, failure is frequently attributed to material fatigue—the progressive, localized, permanent structural change that occurs when a material is subjected to repeated or fluctuating loads. However, recent research suggests that materials retain a faint "structural memory" of past stressors, even when those stresses were well within [elast…
