Aftershock Sequences Modeled with 3-D Stress Heterogeneity and Rate-State Seismicity Equations: Implications for Crustal Stress Estimation [PDF]

, 2010
In this paper, we present a model for studying aftershock sequences that integrates Coulomb static stress change analysis, seismicity equations based on rate-state friction nucleation of earthquakes, slip of geometrically complex faults, and fractal-like,

Strong Aftershock Study Based on Coulomb Stress Triggering—A Case Study on the 2016 Ecuador Mw 7.8 Earthquake

Applied Sciences, 2017
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 ...

Slow Slip Triggers the 2018 Mw 6.9 Zakynthos Earthquake Within the Weakly Locked Hellenic Subduction System, Greece

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
Slow slip events (SSEs) at subduction zones can precede large‐magnitude earthquakes and may serve as precursor indicators, but the triggering of earthquakes by slow slip remains insufficiently understood.

Coulomb stress change on inland faults during megathrust earthquake cycle in southwest Japan [PDF]

Earth, Planets and Space, 2020
AbstractIn the subduction zone, megathrust earthquakes may modulate the shallow crustal seismicity in the overriding plate. Historical documents indicate the frequent occurrence of large shallow crustal earthquakes in the overriding continental plate 50 years before and 10 years after the megathrust earthquakes along the Nankai trough in southwest ...

Triggered seismicity associated with the 1990 Nicoya, Costa Rica, M-w=7.0 earthquake [PDF]

, 2009
The 25 March 1990 (M-w = 7.0) subduction megathrust earthquake that occurred offshore the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica, produced a large number of aftershocks on the subduction plate interface as expected and preceded an unusual sequence of earthquakes ...

Modeling afterslip and aftershocks following the 1992 Landers earthquake [PDF]

, 2007
One way to probe the rheology of the lithosphere and fault zones is to analyze the temporal evolution of deformation following a large earthquake. In such a case, the lithosphere responds to a known stress change that can be assessed from earthquake slip

Coseismic Stress Change and Viscoelastic Relaxation after the 2008 Great Sichuan Earthquake

Applied Sciences, 2022
Long-term stress accumulation influenced by coseismic stress changes and postseismic viscoelastic relaxation is considered critical to triggering giant earthquakes. Nevertheless, how the stress increase is interrupted by aftershocks and how it influences

Perturbation of earthquake probability for interacting faults by static Coulomb stress changes [PDF]

Journal of Seismology, 2009
This work aims at the assessment of the occurrence probability of future earthquakes on the Italian territory, conditional to the time elapsed since the last characteristic earthquake on a fault and to the history of the following events on the neighbouring active sources.

Stress triggering of the Lushan M7. 0 earthquake by the Wenchuan Ms8. 0 earthquake

Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2013
The Wenchuan Ms8. 0 earthquake and the Lushan M7. 0 earthquake occurred in the north and south segments of the Longmenshan nappe tectonic belt, respectively. Based on the focal mechanism and finite fault model of the Wenchuan Ms8.

Post-seismic fluid flow and Coulomb stress changes in a poroelastic medium [PDF]

Geophysical Journal International, 2005
SUMMARY It is generally agreed that the occurrence of seismic sequences implies a kind of interaction between different fault segments. The coseismic stress transfer produced by each dislocation is the most obvious component of such an interaction. However, the time intervals elapsing between subsequent events in a sequence indicate that the coseismic ...
