A Novel Time–Frequency Similarity Method for P-Wave First-Motion Polarity Detection [PDF]
P-wave first-motion polarity is a critical parameter for determining earthquake focal mechanisms. Extracting relative P-wave arrival times and polarity information using waveform cross-correlation techniques can enhance the accuracy of earthquake ...

Acoustic emission features and P-wave first-motion polarity of tensile fractures in the rock
To investigate the acoustic emission (AE) characteristics of tensile fracture in the rock, an AE experiment of granite, marble, and red sandstone using an expanding agent for fracture generation was designed.

PolarCAP – A deep learning approach for first motion polarity classification of earthquake waveforms
The polarity of first P-wave arrivals plays a significant role in the effective determination of focal mechanisms specially for smaller earthquakes. Manual estimation of polarities is not only time-consuming but also prone to human errors.

The Focal Mechanism Solutions (FMSs) of small earthquakes provide valuable insights into crustal structure and stress conditions, while its reliability is limited by the accuracy of first-motion polarity determination, which remains challenging. In this study, we develop an FMS determination workflow based on a rule-based Polarity picker using ...

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),

P Wave Arrival Picking and First‐Motion Polarity Determination With Deep Learning [PDF]
AbstractDetermining earthquake hypocenters and focal mechanisms requires precisely measured P wave arrival times and first‐motion polarities. Automated algorithms for estimating these quantities have been less accurate than estimates by human experts, which are problematic for processing large data volumes.
