In this paper, the discrepancy between the movements of intraplate blocks and plates isdiscussed, and the method to divide the intraplate active blocks is presented by selecting Bursaformula as the ki
Five principles and methods are proposed for estimating the maximum potential earthquakesin low seismicity areas,and their applicabilities are discussed,taking
Using the method of Single-link Cluster(SLC),analyzing the pattern of time sliding of SLCparameters,the earthquake activity in the western Sichuan-Yunnan of Chi
The statistical mechanics of earthquakes adopts the concepts and methodology of statistical mechanics, especially the theory of critical phenomena, in studying the preparation, initiation, propagation
The seismicity factor A-value is defined by synthesizing the seismicity precursors in time, space and magnitude in this paper. The seismicity data of moderate or small earthquakes during 1972 ~ 1996 i
In this article, we have derived a new and more general formulation of Love waves in arbitrarily irregular multi-layered media by using the global generalized reflection/transmission (abbreviated to R
In the past two decades numerous studies were made to develop and improve the theory and practical computation techniques of synthesizing theoretical seismograms for the model of multi-layered half-sp
