Description for Earthquake Processes: Physical Modelling, Numerical Simulation and Data Analysis
Paperback. Presents a cross-section of research in the field of computational earthquake physics. This book includes works on microphysics of rupture and fault constitutive laws, and dynamic rupture, wave propagation and ground motion. It covers earthquake cycles, crustal deformation, plate dynamics, and seismicity change and its physical interpretation. Editor(s): Matsu'ura, Mitsuhiro; Mora, P.; Donnellan, Andrea; Yin, X. Series: Pageoph Topical Volumes. Num Pages: 270 pages, 90 black & white illustrations, 12 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PHVG; RBC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 244 x 170 x 15. Weight in Grams: 652.
In the last decade of the 20th century, there has been great progress in the physics of earthquake generation; that is, the introduction of laboratory-based fault constitutive laws as a basic equation governing earthquake rupture, quantitative description of tectonic loading driven by plate motion, and a microscopic approach to study fault zone processes. The fault constitutive law plays the role of an interface between microscopic processes in fault zones and macroscopic processes of a fault system, and the plate motion connects diverse crustal activities with mantle dynamics. An ambitious challenge for us is to develop realistic computer simulation models for ... Read more
