Earthquake source parameters of the 2009 Mw 7.8 Fiordland (New Zealand) earthquake from L-band InSAR observations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The 2009 MW7.8 Fiordland (New Zealand) earthquake is the largest to have occurred in New Zealand since the 1931 Mw 7.8 Hawke’s Bay earthquake, 1 000 km to the northwest.

Pseudotachylytes and Earthquake Source Mechanics

open access: yes, 2009
Destructive earthquakes nucleate at depth (10 to 15 km), therefore monitoring active faults at the Earth’s surface, or interpreting seismic waves, yields only limited information on earthquake mechanics.

An optimizing microseismic method for rock burst early warning based on mining production process

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
A classification early warning method of rock burst based on hourly microseismic data is proposed, which can be combined with the on‐site production process to provide more timely warning. Abstract Microseismic (MS) events have been reported in nearly every coal mining country, which could well lead to rock burst in underground coal mines.

Statistical physics of earthquakes: Comparison of distribution exponents for source area and potential energy and the dynamic emergence of log-periodic energy quanta [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
We investigate the relationship between the size distribution of earthquake rupture area and the underlying elastic potential energy distribution in a cellular automaton model for earthquake dynamics.

Fault Interactions Enhance High‐Frequency Earthquake Radiation

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2021
Fault complexity has been linked to high‐frequency earthquake radiation, although the underlying physical mechanisms are not well understood. Fault complexity is commonly modeled with rough single faults; however, real‐world faults are additionally ...

Earthquake-induced fracture displacements and transmissivity changes in a 3D fracture network of crystalline rock for spent nuclear fuel disposal

open access: yesJournal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2023
During the long service period of a nuclear waste repository in crystalline rock, large earthquake(s) may occur nearby the repository site and coseismically alter the local stress field around pre-existing fractures within the geological formation.

Semi‐analytical solution for the stability of deep vertical shaft considering time‐dependent rock‐structure interaction

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
A novel cavity contraction solution and multilayer shaft wall model were developed to analyze deep shaft stability, considering rock viscosity, support structures, and water pressure, with successful validation through a Hulusu Coal Mine case study.

The dynamic rupture process of the 2001 Geiyo, Japan, earthquake [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2004
The 2001, Geiyo earthquake (Mw = 6.7) occurred as a normal fault event within the young subducting Philippine Sea plate. We investigate a dynamic rupture process of the earthquake and estimate the dynamic parameters. Firstly, the space‐time distribution of slip of the earthquake, i.e., the kinematic model, was investigated by inverting the near‐field ...
