Slice Inspector
Focused 2D response at the current effective pressure, with transition and probe markers.
2D slice at current N
Fallback mode
Interactive 3D surface unavailable in this browser.
The main stage falls back to a fully interactive 2D slice, so the transition velocity, probe marker, and regime interpretation remain available without the blank WebGL failure state.
Active regime
Transition regime
Transition velocity
300 m/yr
Probe shear stress

Hover surface: u_b 300 m/yr | N 1.00 MPa | τ_b 0.397 MPa

About this explorer
Explore how sliding velocity, effective pressure, and the sliding coefficient move the law from
Weertman-like drag toward Coulomb-limited resistance.
Drag sliders for real-time updates; click the 3D surface to set the
N slice and probe point.
Governing equation
\( \tau_b = C N \left( \frac{u_b}{C^n N^n A_s + u_b} \right)^{1/n} \)
Current interpretation
The probe sits near the transition threshold, where the regularisation bends the response away
from power-law drag and toward the Coulomb limit.
Transition velocity
300 m/yr
Coulomb limit
0.500 MPa
Probe velocity
300 m/yr
Probe shear stress
