Surface deformation due to a strike-slip fault in an elastic gravitational layer overlying
We extend a technique previously used to model surface displacements resulting from thrust faulting in an elastic-gravitational l yer over a viscoelastic-gravitational h f-space to the case of strike-slip faulting. The method involves the calculation of the Green's functions for a strike-slip point source contained in an elastic-gravitational layer over a viscoelastic-gravitational half-space. ...
متن کاملfinite element modeling of deformation field induced by dip and strike slip fault coseismic activity
many earthquakes occur in iran every year and some of these earthquakes cause loss of life and property. consequently earthquake is one of challenging topics not only in iran but also in other active tectonic regions in the world. investigating the mechanism of earthquake as a natural disaster is the first and important step. to study earthquakes, different information such as geometry and beha...
متن کاملA note on 2-D lithospheric deformation due to a blind strike-slip fault
Analytical solution for the problem of a surface-breaking long strike-slip fault in an elastic layer overlying an elastic half-space is well known. The purpose of this note is to obtain the corresponding solution for a blind fault. Since the solution is valid for arbitrary values of the fault-depth and the dip angle, the effects of these two important fault parameters can be studied numerically...
متن کاملThe distributions of slip rate and ductile deformation in a strike- slip shear zone
A simple mechanical model and dimensional analysis are used to derive a scaling law for the partitioning between slip rate on a strike-slip fault and distributed deformation in the far-field. The depth of the fault, the distributions of stress, strain rate and slip rate are solved for a given far-field force or displacement in a 2-D medium with a linear temperature-dependent viscous rheology. A...
متن کاملScaling of Fault Parameters for Continental Strike-Slip Earthquakes
The long-standing conflict between the predictions of elastic dislocation models and the observation that average coseismic slip increases with rupture length is resolved with application of a simple displacement-depth function and the assumption that the base of the seismogenic zone does not result from the onset of viscous relaxation but rather a transition to stable sliding in a medium that ...
