A comparison of multiple solutions of focal mechanisms
Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 1964Abstract The occurrence of focal mechanism solutions of the same earthquake by different authors is examined. Of 42 instances of such multiple solutions for earthquakes which occurred around the borders of the Pacific Ocean, it is found that of 84 possible pairs of multiple solutions agreement is excellent in 8 cases, good in 13, fair in

FOCAL MECHANISM SOLUTION OF THE 15TH MARCH 2008, NYAMANDLOVU EARTHQUAKE
South African Journal of Geology, 2009The focal mechanism solution of the 15th March 2008 earthquake (mb = 4.3) that occurred in the Nyamandlovu area, northwest of Bulawayo City, Zimbabwe, has been determined from P-wave first motion polarities. Results show normal oblique left lateral faulting. The earthquake mechanism bears a signature that is almost identical to those of events recorded

Determination of focal mechanism solution using initial motion polarity of P and S waves
Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 2002Abstract It is important to determine accurate focal mechanism solutions for earthquakes with small magnitudes or those recorded by a small number of seismometers, perhaps with an unfavorable geographic distribution. A method using initial motion polarity of S waves, in addition to P waves, is described.

Focal Mechanism Solutions of Intraplate Earthquakes and Stresses in the Lithosphere
1974Focal mechanism solutions of 33 intraplate earthquakes are presented. These solutions, 47 additional mechanism solutions from the literature, and measurements of stress in situ indicate that the interiors of many lithospheric plates are characterized by large horizontal compressive stress. The predominance of com-pressive stress is particularly notable

Tectonophysics, 1983
Abstract Focal-mechanism solutions of four earthquakes in the eastern Himalayas and northern Burma are determined using the first motion of compressional waves. Two possible solutions thus obtained for each event reveal steeply dipping fault with predominantly strike-slip motion.

Focal mechanism solution of the Himalayan earthquake of February 14, 1977
Tectonophysics, 1982Abstract Through a closely spaced local network of seismic stations in Himachal Pradesh, India, supplemented by worldwide P-wave first-motion data, the source mechanism of the February 14, 1977 earthquake which occurred very close to the Rawalpindi area in Pakistan has been determined.

Two focal-mechanism solutions for earthquakes from Iceland and Svalbard
Tectonophysics, 1977Abstract Strike-slip solutions have been obtained and are presented here for the focal mechanisms of one earthquake from Iceland and one from Svalbard, on 13 and 18 January 1976, respectively. A fault plane is suggested for the Iceland earthquake.

Based on P-and S-wave amplitudes and some clear initial P-wave motion data, we calculated focal mechanism solutions of 928 M≥2.5 earthquakes (1994–2005) in four sub-blocks of Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces, namely Sichuan-Qinghai, Yajiang, Central Sichuan and Central Yunnan blocks.

Focal mechanism solutions for Albanian earthquakes for the years 1964–1988
Tectonophysics, 1994Abstract Focal mechanism solutions for 175 Albanian earthquakes of Albania for the years 1964–1988 were obtained by using an interactive computer technique. The results obtained are elaborated upon by applying Fisherian statistical analysis to obtain parameters for the mean stress direction in five zones.

Focal mechanism solutions and its tectonic significance in the trench of the eastern South China Sea
Acta Seismologica Sinica, 2005According to the activity of earthquakes and volcanoes along the Manila trench and its adjacent region, combined with analysis of focal mechanism solutions and geophysics data, the Manila trench is still being downward subduction in the depth of 200 km.
