The spatial response pattern of coseismic landslides induced by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake to the surface deformation and Coulomb stress change revealed from InSAR observations

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2020
The 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake triggered plenty of coseismic giant landslides, which resulted in almost one third of total fatalities and economic losses during the event.

Importance of forearc topography for the triggering of aftershocks of megathrust earthquakes: insights from mechanical models and the Tohoku-Oki and Maule earthquakes [PDF]

Solid Earth
Aftershocks of megathrust earthquakes at subduction zones may be driven by stresses arising from the topography of the forearc. However, the effect of topographic stresses on aftershock triggering is quantitatively not well understood and has been ...

Analysis of the stress distribution of North Anatolian Fault Zone for the part between Amasya-Tokat cities

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration, 2022
Tectonic forces formed in the continental crust, cause permanent changes in stress, compression and deformation. The amplitudes of earthquake waves vary with the stress/strain distribution in the crust.

Lithospheric Equilibrium, Environmental Changes, and Potential Induced-Earthquake Risk around the Newly Impounded Baihetan Reservoir, China

Remote Sensing, 2021
The Baihetan hydropower station is the second largest hydropower station worldwide. It began to store water in April 2021. We conducted a dense hybrid gravity and GNSS survey at 223 stations, obtained the free-air and Bouguer gravity anomalies, inversed ...

Coulomb stress changes and magnitude-frequency distribution for Lake Van region

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration, 2021
The tectonic structure of Türkiye is under the influence of Arabian, Eurasian, African, and Anatolian plates. Lake Van region, located in eastern Türkiye, has been exposed to many devastating earthquakes in historical and instrumental periods. In this paper, using regional earthquakes, the tectonic stress variation of Lake Van region was investigated ...

Earthquake hazard in central Taiwan evaluated using the potentially successive 2013 Nantou Taiwan earthquake sequences

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2020
Based on the Coulomb stress changes due to the 2013 Nantou, Taiwan, earthquake sequences, the locations of successive earthquake events could be estimated. Based on those results, we further investigated the potential earthquake hazards by simulating the

Static‐stress impact of the 1992 Landers earthquake sequence on nucleation and slip at the site of the 1999 M=7.1 Hector Mine earthquake, southern California

Geophysical Research Letters, 2000
The proximity in time (∼7 years) and space (∼20 km) between the 1992 M=7.3 Landers earthquake and the 1999 M=7.1 Hector Mine event suggests a possible link between the quakes.

Elastic–Plastic Modeling and Experimental Characterization of Granular Jamming Actuators

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Granular jamming enables rapid switching between soft and rigid mechanical states. Here, a reduced‐order elastic‐perfectly‐plastic beam framework captures pressure‐dependent loading, unloading, residual deformation, and hysteresis in jammed beams, while matching three‐point bending experiments across materials and geometries. The framework links design

Applying unsupervised machine-learning algorithms and MUSIC back-projection to characterize 2018–2022 Hualien earthquake sequence

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2022
Key points 1. We used unsupervised machine-learning algorithms DBSCAN and PCA to study the 2018–2022 Hualien earthquake sequence. 2. A deep westward-dipping and a shallow rotation structure system are revealed from earthquake clusters close to the ...
