Slip-Related Changes in Plantar Pressure Distribution, and Parameters for Early Detection of Slip Events [PDF]
To investigate differences in plantar pressure distribution between a normal gait and unpredictable slip events to predict the initiation of the slipping process.Eleven male participants were enrolled. Subjects walked onto a wooden tile, and two layers of oily vinyl sheet were placed on the expected spot of the 4th step to induce a slip.

Sensitivity Analysis for Seafloor Geodetic Constraints on Coseismic Slip and Interseismic Slip-Deficit Distributions [PDF]
Estimating the coseismic slip distribution and interseismic slip-deficit distribution play an important role in understanding the mechanism of massive earthquakes and predicting the resulting damage. It is useful to observe the crustal deformation not only in the land area, but also directly above the seismogenic zone.

Self-similar slip distributions on irregular shaped faults [PDF]
We propose a strategy to place a self similar slip distribution on a complex fault surface that is represented by an unstructured mesh. This is possible by applying a strategy based on the composite source model where a hierarchical set of asperities, each with its own slip function which is dependent on the distance from the asperity centre.

Slip distributions on intersecting normal faults
Abstract Slip distributions on normal faults often are asymmetric and display multiple local maxima. Numerically computed slip distributions from elastic models indicate that such irregular slip distributions can be caused by mechanical interaction between intersecting faults that produce local perturbations of the stress field resolved on the faults.

Heterogeneous Slip Distribution Self-Similarity on a Fault Surface
The earthquake slip distribution self-similarity is investigated in this study. We complied finite fault slip models for earthquakes in the Taiwan orogenic belt and global earthquakes to determine the slip distribution self-similarity.

Coseismic slip distribution of the 1946 Nankai earthquake and aseismic slips caused by the earthquake [PDF]
Coseismic slip distribution on the fault plane of the 1946 Nankai earthquake (Mw 8.3) was estimated from inversion of tsunami waveforms. The following three improvements from the previous study (Satake, 1993) were made. (1) Larger number of smaller subfaults is used; (2) the subfaults fit better to the slab geometry; and (3) more detailed bathymetry ...

Dependence of Coseismic Landslide Distribution Patterns on Fault Movement
Faults are the primary drivers of earthquakes and exert a strong control on rupture mechanisms, earthquake magnitude, and the spatial distribution of coseismic landslides (CLs).

The 13 November 2016 Kaikoura earthquake occurred in the northeastern coastal region of the South Island, New Zealand. The Mw 7.8 mainshock generated a complex pattern of surface ruptures, and was followed within about 12 hours by three moderate shocks ...

Adaptive regularization of earthquake slip distribution inversion [PDF]
Abstract Regularization is a routine approach used in earthquake slip distribution inversion to avoid numerically abnormal solutions. To date, most slip inversion studies have imposed uniform regularization on all the fault patches. However, adaptive regularization, where each retrieved parameter is regularized differently, has exhibited better ...

The equivalence of geophysical fields, the finiteness of measurements and the measurement errors make the result of geophysical inversion non-unique. For example, the measurements and inversion method used, the priori rupture model determined and the ...
