  1. 1.  b-Value Variations Preceding the Devastating, 1999 Earthquake, near Izmit, Turkey

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Geofysik

    Author : Sara Andersson; [2015]
    Keywords : b-value; frequency-magnitude distribution; earthquake precursors; temporal variations; North Anatolian Fault Zone; b-värde; Gutenberg-Richter relationen; förelöpare till jordbävningar; temporala variationer; Norra Anatoliska förkastningen;

    Abstract : The potential of temporal b-value variations as an intermediate-term (weeks to months) earthquake precursor was investigated in the western portion of the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ), between January 1982 to December 2004. The focus of the study is on the devastating, 1999 earthquake, near Izmit. READ MORE

  3. 2. Coupled High-Order Finite Difference and Unstructured Finite Volume Methods for Earthquake Rupture Dynamics in Complex Geometries

    University essay from Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Ossian O'Reilly; [2011]
    Keywords : SBP summation-by-parts SAT simultaneous-approximation-term unstructured finite volume methods high order finite difference methods interface coupling earthquake rupture dynamics complex geometries;

    Abstract : The linear elastodynamic two-dimensional anti-plane stress problem, where deformations occur in only one direction is considered for one sided non-planar faults. Fault dynamics are modeled using purely velocity dependent friction laws, and applied on boundaries with complex geometry. READ MORE
