Temporal Power-laws on Preseismic Activation and Aftershock Decay Affected by Transient Behavior of Rocks
A constitutive law for rock behaviors including the brittle, transient and steady-state behaviors is derived to recognize the temporal seismicity patterns on surface displacement or prior and subsequent to mainshocks, and formulated as the relaxation modulus (i.e., the ratio of stress to strain) following a temporal power-law relaxation. This constitutive law is transformable into the empirical...
متن کاملPower-law rheology controls aftershock triggering and decay
The occurrence of aftershocks is a signature of physical systems exhibiting relaxation phenomena. They are observed in various natural or experimental systems and usually obey several non-trivial empirical laws. Here we consider a cellular automaton realization of a nonlinear viscoelastic slider-block model in order to infer the physical mechanisms of triggering responsible for the occurrence o...
متن کاملStatic stress triggering explains the empirical aftershock distance decay
The shape of the spatial aftershock decay is sensitive to the triggering mechanism and thus particularly useful for discriminating between static and dynamic stress triggering. For California seismicity, it has been recently recognized that its form is more complicated than typically assumed consisting of three different regimes with transitions at the scale of the rupture length and the thickn...
متن کاملConstraints on the Size of the Smallest Triggering Earthquake from the ETAS Model, B̊ath’s Law, and Observed Aftershock Sequences
The physics of earthquake triggering together with simple assumptions of self-similarity impose the existence of a minimum magnitude m0 below which earthquakes do not trigger other earthquakes. Noting that the magnitude md of completeness of seismic catalogs has no reason to be the same as the magnitude m0 of the smallest triggering earthquake, we use quantitative fits and maximum likelihood in...
متن کاملInterval timing with gaps: gap ambiguity as an alternative to temporal decay.
C. V. Buhusi, D. Perera, and W. H. Meck (2005) proposed a hypothesis of timing in rats to account for the results of experiments that have used the peak procedure with gaps. According to this hypothesis, the introduction of a gap causes the animal's memory for the pregap interval to passively decay (subjectively shorten) in direct proportion to the duration and salience of the gap. Thus, animal...
