An Introduction to Non-Double-Couple Sources
Robert Anthony Department of Earth and Environmental Science, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology Abstract Since the early 1960s when Maruyama and Burridge and Knopoff convincingly demonstrated that the elastodynamic radiation patterns exhibited by shear faulting in an isotropic, elastic medium were consistent with a pair of force couples, it has become standard practice amongst seism...
متن کاملLaboratory earthquakes along inhomogeneous faults: directionality and supershear.
We report on the experimental observation of spontaneously nucleated ruptures occurring on frictionally held bimaterial interfaces with small amounts of wave speed mismatch. Rupture is always found to be asymmetric bilateral. In one direction, rupture always propagates at the generalized Rayleigh wave speed, whereas in the opposite direction it is subshear or it transitions to supershear. The l...
متن کاملThe magnitude distribution of earthquakes near Southern California faults
[1] We investigate seismicity near faults in the Southern California Earthquake Center Community Fault Model. We search for anomalously large events that might be signs of a characteristic earthquake distribution. We find that seismicity near major fault zones in Southern California is well modeled by a Gutenberg-Richter distribution, with no evidence of characteristic earthquakes within the re...
متن کاملA Model of Rupturing Lithospheric Faults with Reoccurring Earthquakes
An isothermal small-strain model based on the concept of generalized standard solids is devised, combining Maxwell-type rheology, damage, and perfect plasticity in the bulk. An interface analogue of the model is formulated at the lithospheric faults, exploiting concepts of adhesive contacts with interfacial plasticity. The model covers simultaneously features as rupturing of the fault zone acco...
متن کاملDeeper penetration of large earthquakes on seismically quiescent faults.
Why many major strike-slip faults known to have had large earthquakes are silent in the interseismic period is a long-standing enigma. One would expect small earthquakes to occur at least at the bottom of the seismogenic zone, where deeper aseismic deformation concentrates loading. We suggest that the absence of such concentrated microseismicity indicates deep rupture past the seismogenic zone ...
