TLDR
In this article, experiments have been conducted to simulate the Cenozoic arc-continent collision in Taiwan with a foreland-dipping backstop, and the experimental modelling shows that the faults or shear zones are rotated around the indentation point of the backstop by transcurrent and bookshelf faulting.About:

Velocity field of GPS stations in the Taiwan area
TL;DR: In this article, the average rates of length change for all baselines of the network and those from nine continuously monitoring permanent stations are used in a least squares adjustment to estimate the velocities of the GPS stations relative to Paisha, Penghu, situated at the Chinese continental margin.

Fabien Graveleau,Fabien Graveleau,Jacques Malavieille,Jacques Malavieille,Stéphane Dominguez,Stéphane Dominguez +5 more
TL;DR: A detailed review of the main results obtained using both tectonic and geomorphic approaches can be found in this article, where the authors provide an almost complete state-of-the-art in the experimental study of relief dynamics to guide present and future researchers in their understanding of mountain belt evolution.

Along-strike variations of morphotectonic features in the Western Foothills of Taiwan: tectonic implications based on stream-gradient and hypsometric analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, stream-gradient and hypsometric analysis has been carried out to highlight the along-strike variations of morphotectonic features and to illustrate the relative activities in different tectonic regimes of the Western Foothills.

TL;DR: Marine observations offshore of Taiwan indicate intense deformation of the Luzon arc-forearc complex, with episodic eastward migration of the active deformation front across the complex as mentioned in this paper.

Friction of Rocks
TL;DR: This paper showed that at low normal stress the shear stress required to slide one rock over another varies widely between experiments and at high normal stress that effect is diminished and the friction is nearly independent of rock type.

Mechanics of fold-and-thrust belts and accretionary wedges
TL;DR: In this article, a simple analytical theory that predicts the critical tapers of subaerial and submarine Coulomb wedges is developed and tested quantitatively in three ways: First, laboratory model experiments with dry sand match the theory.

Plate convergence, transcurrent faults, and internal deformation adjacent to Southeast Asia and the western Pacific
TL;DR: In this paper, a model for oblique convergence between plates of lithosphere is proposed in which at least a fraction of slip parallel to the plate margin results in transcurrent movements on a nearly vertical fault which is located on the continental side of a zone of plate consumption.
