Ambiguity of the Moment Tensor [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2005
An earthquake on a fault separating two dissimilar materials does not have a well-defined moment density tensor. We present a complete characterization of this bimaterial ambiguity in the general case of slip on a fault in an anisotropic medium. The ambiguity can be eliminated by utilizing a potency density rather than a moment density representation ...

How to Assess the Moment Tensor Inversion Resolution for Mining Induced Seismicity: A Case Study for the Rudna Mine, Poland

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Underground exploitation of georesources can be highly correlated with induced seismic activity. In order to reduce the risk and improve the mining operations safety, the mining activity is monitored by a dedicated seismic network.

Analytical models of volcanic ellipsoidal expansion sources

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 2013
Modeling non-double-couple earthquakes and surficial deformation in volcanic and geothermal areas usually involves expansion sources. Given an ensemble of ellipsoidal or tensile expansion sources and double-couple ones, it is straightforward to obtain ...

Seismic strain and stress field studies in Italy before and after the Umbria-Marche seismic sequence: a review

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 2008
The seismic sequence that hit Umbria and Marche during 1997 and 1998 was particularly significant because it dramatically marked the evolution of analysis tools and the development of our geophysical knowledge of the region. Since September 1997, we have

On the documentation, independence, and stability of widely used seismological data products

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Earthquake scientists have traditionally relied on relatively small data sets recorded on small numbers of instruments. With advances in both instrumentation and computational resources, the big-data era, including an established norm of open data ...

Grid-Based Moment Tensor Inversion Technique by Using 3-D Green's Functions Database: A Demonstration of the 23 October 2004 Taipei Earthquake

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2010
Moment tensor inversion is a routine procedure to obtain information on an earthquake source for moment magnitude and focal mechanism. However, the inversion quality is usually controlled by factors such as knowledge of an earthquake location and the ...

Investigating Factors Influencing Moment Tensor Inversion of Induced Seismicity in Virtual IoT

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
The Internet of Things (IoT) for seismicity in underground mine consists of a combination of sensor network hardware and software, which allows the collection of seismic data and data processing for basic event parameters.

Fractons in curved space

open access: yesSciPost Physics, 2022
We consistently couple simple continuum field theories with fracton excitations to curved spacetime backgrounds. We consider homogeneous and isotropic fracton field theories, with a conserved $U(1)$ charge and dipole moment.

Monte Carlo approximate tensor moment simulations [PDF]

open access: yesNumerical Linear Algebra with Applications, 2014
SummaryAn algorithm to generate samples with approximate first‐order, second‐order, third‐order, and fourth‐order moments is presented by extending the Cholesky matrix decomposition to a Cholesky tensor decomposition of an arbitrary order. The tensor decomposition of the first‐order, second‐order, third‐order, and fourth‐order objective moments ...

Water inrush inoculation process in mines based on moment tensor inversion

open access: yes工程科学学报, 2015
To achieve the effective monitoring of rock failure events in the mine water inrush inoculation process, a moment tensor inversion method based on digital seismology was introduced to process abnormal microseismic events monitored in Hebei Fanshan ...
