No Significant Effect of Coulomb Stress on the Gutenberg-Richter Law after the Landers Earthquake. [PDF]
AbstractCoulomb-stress theory has been used for years in seismology to understand how earthquakes trigger each other. Whenever an earthquake occurs, the stress field changes, and places with positive increases are brought closer to failure. Earthquake models that relate earthquake rates and Coulomb stress after a main event, such as the rate-and-state ...

Near‐prospective test of Coulomb stress triggering [PDF]
AbstractNumerous studies retrospectively observed a strong association between earthquake location and increased static Coulomb stress. In addition to confirming these results for southern California seismicity, we observed prospective forecasting potential in static stress evolution.

Aftershock triggering by complete Coulomb stress changes [PDF]
We examine the correlation between seismicity rate change following the 1992, M7.3, Landers, California, earthquake and characteristics of the complete Coulomb failure stress (CFS) changes (ΔCFS(t)) that this earthquake generated. At close distances the time‐varying “dynamic” portion of the stress change depends on how the rupture develops temporally ...

Propagation of Coulomb stress uncertainties in physics‐based aftershock models [PDF]
AbstractStress transfer between earthquakes is recognized as a fundamental mechanism governing aftershock sequences. A common approach to relate stress changes to seismicity rate changes is the rate‐and‐state constitutive law developed by Dieterich: these elements are the foundation of Coulomb‐rate‐and‐state (CRS) models.

COULOMB STRESS CHANGES DUE TO RECENT ACEH EARTHQUAKES
Coulomb stress change analysis has been applied to understand whether the 2013/07/02 (Mw=6.1) has been triggered by 2013/01/21 earthquake (Mw=6.1) the proximity to failure on the Aceh segment of Sumatra Fault Zone (SFZ). We examine the problem of how one

Aftershocks in Stress Shadows are Inconsistent with Modeled Static Coulomb Stress Changes
Aftershock triggering is commonly attributed to increases in static Coulomb stress. In some areas, termed "stress shadows", a decrease in Coulomb stress is predicted to suppress earthquake occurrence.

The 2016 Ecuador M 7.8 earthquake ruptured the subduction zone boundary between the Nazca plate and the South America plate. This M 7.8 earthquake may have promoted failure in the surrounding crust, where six M ≥ 6 aftershocks occurred following this ...

Analysis of Coulomb Stress Changes in Aceh Earthquake on Sibayak Volcano
Based on geological conditions, Indonesia is located between the Indo-Australian plate, the Eurasian plate, and the Pacific plate, making Indonesia prone to tectonic earthquakes.

Evaluating models of Coulomb stress transfer: Is variable fault geometry important? [PDF]
To determine the importance of receiver fault geometry in Coulomb stress calculations a new methodology is presented to model faults with variable geometry. Although most models use planar faults, it is known that these are inaccurate representations of faults observed in the field. The central Italian Apennines are chosen as a straightforward tectonic
