We propose a two-step inversion of three-component seismograms that (1) recovers the far-field source time function at each station and (2) estimates the distribution of co-seismic slip on the fault plane for small earthquakes (magnitude 3 to 4). The empirical Green's function (EGF) method consists of finding a small earthquake located near the one we wish to study and then performing a deconvolution to remove the path, site, and instrumental effects from the main-event signal.
The deconvolution between the two earthquakes is an unstable procedure: we have therefore developed a simulated annealing technique to recover a stable and positive source time function (STF) in the time domain at each station with an estimation of uncertainties. Given a good azimuthal coverage, we can obtain information on the directivity effect as well as on the rupture process. We propose an inversion method by simulated annealing using the STF to recover the distribution of slip on the fault plane with a constant rupture-velocity model. This method permits estimation of physical quantities on the fault plane, as well as possible identification of the real fault plane.
We apply this two-step procedure for an event of magnitude 3 recorded in the Gulf of Corinth in August 1991. A nearby event of magnitude 2 provides us with empirical Green's functions for each station. We estimate an active fault area of 0.02 to 0.15 km² and deduce a stress-drop value of 1 to 30 bar and an average slip of 0.1 to 1.6 cm. The selected fault of the main event is in good agreement with the existence of a detachment surface inferred from the tectonics of this half-graben.  相似文献

Calculating the two-dimensional magnetotelluric Jacobian in finite elements using reciprocity   总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6

To speed up the calculation of the field Jacobian for 2-D magnetoteliuric inversion using finite elements, the principle of electromagnetic reciprocity is applied. The governing relationship for the Jacobian of the field along strike is obtained by differentiating the Helmholtz equation with respect to the resistivity of each region in the finite-element mesh. The result is a similar Helmholtz equation for the Jacobian, with new sources distributed over all nodes within the parameter medium. However, according to the principle of electromagnetic reciprocity, the roles of sources and receivers are interchangeable. Utilizing reciprocity, the field values obtained from the original forward problem and for new unit sources imposed at the receivers are then utilized in the calculation of the Jacobian by simple multiplication and summation with finite-element terms at each rectangle in the mesh. For the auxiliary (across-strike) fields, the Jacobian terms are obtained by solving source vectors loaded with parabola coefficients used in the approximation to Maxwell's equations. Jacobian terms for the apparent resistivity ( p _a), the impedance phase (φ) and the vertical magnetic field ( K _zy) are then calculated utilizing the parallel- and auxiliary-field Jacobians. Comparison of Jacobian values obtained from reciprocity calculations and by differencing two forward solutions show that the reciprocity method is accurate and can be used to decrease the number of calculations required to obtain sensitivities by one to two orders of magnitude.  相似文献

对我国含油气盆地构造样式研究中存在的一些主要问题进行了讨论。包括：关于构造样式的确切含义及类型的划分，由于对构造样式概念理解的不一致，导致了构造样式类型划分的混乱；构造样式的鉴别，往往由于过分强调了某些单一“鉴定标志”而忽略了总体变形特征，从而导致对构造变形机理的错误判断；中国含油气盆地的构造反转问题。  相似文献

位于闾山背斜隆起核部西侧的阜新断陷盆地从早白垩世义县组晚期开始，在东西两侧盆缘的Ｆ″１、Ｆ２断层所、围限的地堑内接受了义县组上部中性火山岩的堆积。火山喷发停止后，九佛堂组的大陆碎屑岩建造仍在Ｆ″１和Ｆ２断层之间的地堑内充填。九佛堂裂陷期之后该区地壳掀斜隆升，盆地南侧的义县地区开始反转抬升而不再接受沉积，西缘的Ｆ２断层也停止活动。到沙海组充填时盆地已演化为受Ｆ″１断层控制的、东断西超的半地堑盆地；沙海期裂陷终止后Ｆ″１断层停止活动，阜新组裂陷是在向东移的Ｆ′１盆缘断层控制下半地堑内发育的。阜新期裂陷结束后盆地又发生了一次跳跃式的反转，许多正断层发育成上逆下正的复合断层，并出现正花状构造。中白垩世孙家湾组的沉陷进一步向东侧移，形成了以Ｆ１断层为盆缘断层的半地堑；孙家湾期后发生本区最强烈的整体反转、隆升和褶断，结束了盆地的演化历史。阜新盆地间歇侧移式的裂陷与递进跳跃式的反转为盆地反转建立一个新的构造模式  相似文献   

The effects of pre-existing normal faults on thrust ramp development: An example from the northern Apennines,Italy     

E. Tavarnelli 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1996,85(2):363-371

The Umbria-Marche foreland fold-and-thrust belt in the northern Apennines of Italy provides excellent evidence to test the hypothesis of synsedimentary-structural control on thrust ramp development. This orogenic belt consists of platform and pelagic carbonates, Late Triassic to Miocene in age, whose deposition was controlled by significant synsedimentary extension. Normal faulting, mainly active from Jurassic through Late Cretaceous-Paleogene time, resulted in significant lateral thickness variability within the related stratigraphic sequences. By Late Miocene time the sedimentary cover was detached from the underlying basement and was deformed by east-verging folds and west-dipping thrusts. Two restored balanced cross sections through the southernmost part of the belt show a coincidence between the early synsedimentary normal faults and the late thrust fault ramps. These evidences suggest that synsedimentary tectonic structures, such as faults and the related lithological lateral changes, can be regarded as mechanically important controlling factors in the process of thrust ramp development during positive tectonic inversion processes.  相似文献
