Earthquake Processes: Physical Modelling, Numerical Simulation and Data Analysis

Description: Earthquake Processes: Physical Modelling, Numerical Simulation and Data Analysis Part II by Mitsuhiro Matsu'ura, Peter Mora, Andrea Donnellan, Xiang-chu Yin Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description 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 strong ground motion. It covers earthquake cycles, crustal deformation, and seismicity change and its physical interpretation. Publisher Description The last decade of the 20th century saw 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 is to develop realistic computer simulation models for the complete earthquake process on the basis of microphysics in fault zones and macro-dynamics in the crust-mantle system. Advances in high performance computer technology and numerical simulation methodology are bringing this vision within reach. This book is the second of two which present a cross-section of cutting-edge research in the field of computational earthquake physics. It covers earthquake cycles, crustal deformation, plate dynamics, and seismicity change and its physical interpretation.The first volume includes works on microphysics of rupture and fault constitutive laws, and dynamic rupture, wave propagation and strong ground motion. Topics in this volume range from the 3-D simulations of earthquake generation cycles and interseismic crustal deformation associated with plate subduction to the development of new methods for analysing geophysical and geodetical data and new simulation algorithms for large amplitude folding and mantle convection with viscoelastic/brittle lithosphere, as well as a theoretical study of accelerated seismic release on heterogeneous faults, simulation of long-range automaton models of earthquakes, and various approaches to earthquake prediction based on underlying physical and/or statistical models for seismicity change.
