Deformation associated with normal fault propagation and displacement places controls on the distribution and flow of sub-surface fluids. With a better understanding of how sedimentary units deform in response to a propagating fault, scientists can better predict how fluids might flow through the system at different stages of displacement. Though previous researchers have acknowledged the effects of sedimentary layering as barriers to fault propagation (e.g. Cooke and Pollard, 1997; Cooke et al., 2001; Peacock, 2002; Hayano and Ishii, 2016), previous research has failed to produce a systematic, quantitative analysis of the role of mechanical layering on fault tip propagation. Therefore, building upon previous geomechanical modeling techniques (Smart et al., 2004, 2009, 2010b, 2010a, 2012; Doff, 2015; Sattari and Eaton, 2015), I use ABAQUS/ Standard finite element modeling software (by Dassault Systemes, 2018) to create an experimental finite element model that permits me to analyze the influence of stratigraphic layering upon stress and strain ahead of a fault tip.
