The current strain distribution in the North China Basin of eastern China by least-squares collocation

Models and Techniques in Geodetic Monitoring of Tectonic Deformations in Greece

“…Applications to the estimation of the vertical movements were given by Hein and Kistermann (1981), Kanngieser (1983) and El-Fiky et al (1997). Papers on horizontal and vertical movements (El-Fiky and Kato, 1999;Wu et al, 2006;Kahle et all., 1995;Chatzinikos et al, 2013), were followed.…”

Deep coseismic slip of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake inferred from joint inversion of fault stress changes and GPS surface displacements

“…High-magnitude earthquakes can cause changes in fault stress distribution and a series of aftershocks (Hanks, 1977;Zhang et al, 2003;Wu et al, 2006). The short-term aftershock occurrence rate is much higher than the pre-seismic long-term average earthquake rates.…”

Analysis of the Crust Deformations before and after the 2008 Wenchuan Ms8.0 Earthquake Based on GPS Measurements

“…where of homogeneous strain in each triangle, the displacement velocities and the strain rates are related by [7]…”

“…where (a, b) is the horizontal coordinates of the middle point of the upper side of the fault plane, θ is the strike of the fault plane, L, W, d, and δ are half-length, -width, and -depth of upper side and dip angle of the fault plane, respectively, and U 1 , U 2 , and U 3 are the strike, thrust, and tensile dislocation components (fault slips) on the fault plane. In (7), the ground displacement component u i is the observed quantities, and other quantities in the left side of the equation are the unknowns to be estimated. In practice, several quantities in the left side of equation, like the fault location parameters a, b, and θ and the fault geometry parameters L, W, d, and δ, can be determined from other means, for example, geological investigations and the earthquake mechanism solutions [1,3].…”
