Earthquake source models
Adamová, Petra ; Šílený, Jan (advisor) ; Fischer, Tomáš (referee) ; Gallovič, František (referee)
The earthquake source is routinely modeled by moment tensor description. In many cases we need more information about the source process and for that reason we occupy with higher degree moments. This approach allows us to esti- mate non-point characteristics (including some dynamic parameters): geometry of the source, duration of the source process, average slip on the fault, spatial and temporal centroid and rupture velocity vector within the point source ap- proach. This description includes 20 parameters - 6 parameters for standard moment tensor (MT) and 14 parameters for second degree moments (SDM). First, we studied synthetic tests. Large amount of significant earthquakes con- tains false non-DC component which can be caused by approximation finite source by point source. This hypothesis was proved on the case of unilateral rupture. Standard MT contains more than 20 % non-DC components which was reduced to 6 %. In the second part we applied this procedure to real data. We chose large earthquakes (Mw>6) with large non-DC component. We estimated second degree moments for them and compared them with previous studies. Moreover we restitute higher degree moments from data and proved that false non-DC component were caused by source finiteness. In the last part we applied this method to mining data and...
