Some considerations on the recent tectonic stress field of China

Tectonophysics, 1985
Abstract Based on the improved hydrofracturing method, the in-situ principal stresses are determined in the north, northeast, south and the northwest of China, and the results of many fault-plane solutions, crustal deformations, geological and geophysical observations are used to discuss the distribution of subcrustal stress in space, the difference ...

Modern tectonic stress field in Southwest Yunnan, China

Acta Seismologica Sinica, 2001
By means of inversion of fault slip data, the parameters of 20 tectonic stress tensors in Southwest Yunnan region are determined. Compared with the average stress field of the region obtained from focal mechanism solutions, the following characteristics of modern tectonic stress field in this region are obtained.

A short note on the inversion of tectonic stress fields

Tectonophysics, 1983
Abstract Works on global and regional stress fields are briefly reviewed. Questions encountered in computing tectonic stress fields are listed as: the earth model, driving forces, distinguishing criteria and residual stress. For the linear elastic case, a scheme making use of the superposition principle and the method of least squares is described in

The tectonic stress field evolution of India since the Oligocene

Gondwana Research, 2015
Abstract A multitude of observations suggest neotectonic deformation in and around India, but its causes and history are unknown. We use a 2 dimensional finite element model with heterogeneous elastic strengths in continental regions to model the regional stress field orientation and relative magnitudes since the Oligocene. The large-scale geological

Tectonic stress field and seismic faulting in the area of Greece

Tectonophysics, 1969
Abstract Fault plane solutions of 89 shallow earthquakes which occurred in the region of Greece between 1947 and 1966 have been used to derive statistical results about the direction of the acting stress component and orientation of faulting. The acting stress component is tensional in most places and its direction is almost horizontal.

Application of complex structure modeling in tectonic stress field simulation

Global Meeting Abstracts, 2009
In order to describe the tectonic stress field distribution of some region in the northeast of Sichuan province, Some researches have been done to reveal the relationship between oil & gas distribution and the tectonic stress field distribution, and to avoid the disaster under the well and finally get the way of how to exploit the oil & gas ...
