A functional tool to explore the reliability of micro-earthquake focal mechanism solution for seismotectonic purposes [PDF]
. Improving the knowledge of seismogenic faults requires the integration of geological, seismological, and geophysical information. Among several analyses, the definition of earthquake focal mechanisms plays an essential role in providing information ...

Seismicity distribution and focal mechanism solution of major earthquakes of northern Pakistan [PDF]
Pakistan is situated very close to the subduction zone of Indian-Arabian plates and Indian-Eurasian plates. Thus, it is a country with moderate to high seismicity with a large number of major earthquakes. Therefore, the severity of seismic hazards of major earthquakes is not ignorable. The seismicity of northern areas of Pakistan (33–37°N and 70–76°E),

Study on three independent parameters of focal mechanism solution [PDF]
In this paper, the relationships of the plunges and azimuths of T and P axes versus the strikes, dips, and rakes of two seismic nodal planes were derived to provide reference for earthquake researchers. The independence of the plunges and azimuths of T, B, and P axes in focal mechanism solution was discussed, and it was concluded that three parameters,

Reliability of Focal Mechanism Solutions for Small and Medium Earthquakes Based on Different Methods
Three representative small and medium earthquakes in Shanxi seismic belt in recent years were taken as examples. By using different methods, such as the first motion of P-wave, first motion of P-wave combining P/SV/SH amplitude ratio, CAP (Cut and Past), and moment tensor inversion, the reliability and stability of focal mechanism solutions of small ...

Stress inversion from the focal mechanism solution of Bam earthquake aftershocks (Iran, 2003)
Stress determination can be performed by different inversion techniques using fault-slip data resulted from focal mechanism solutions obtained from earthquake shock records. Inversion methods, explicitly or implicitly, use the object function that evaluates the fitness of some assumed stress state to the fault-slip data.
