Understanding Micropolar Theory in the Earth Sciences II: The Seismic Moment Tensor

open access: yes, 2021
Seismic events produced by block rotations about vertical axis occur in many geodynamic contexts. In this study, we show that these rotations can be accounted for using the proper theory, namely micropolar theory, and a new asymmetric moment tensor can ...

A Fast Evaluation of the Seismic Moment Tensor for Induced Seismicity

open access: yesBulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2000
An original method is proposed for the evaluation of moment tensor components using time-domain calculations of low-frequency displacement amplitudes with the first-wave polarities attached. The technique is suitable for applications involving large amounts of data that require a fast response time, such as those encountered in the analysis of induced ...

Instrumental seismicity of the Amatrice earthquake epicentral area: a review

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 2016
This study presents a review of the instrumental seismicity of the Norcia-Amatrice area (central Italy) where a still on-going seismic sequence started on August 24th 2016 with a Mw6.0 earthquake.

GPU-acceleration 3D rotated-staggered-grid solutions to microseismic anisotropic wave equation with moment tensor implementation

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mining Science and Technology, 2023
To improve the accuracy of microseismic inversion, seismic anisotropy and moment tensor source should be carefully considered in the forward modelling stage. In this study, 3D microseismic anisotropy wave forward modelling with a moment tensor source was

Cluster analysis of seismic moment tensor orientations [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Journal International, 1993
SUMMARY This paper demonstrates that well-known methods of cluster analysis and multivariate data analysis are useful for geodynamic interpretation of seismic moment tensors. To use these methods, moment tensors are expressed as vectors in a 6-D space. These are vectors in a rigorous sense, rather than an arbitrary set of ordered numbers, because a dot
