An apparent correlation of earthquakes with the coincidence of lunar perigee and new Moon is shown to be a consequence of the correlation of perigee with new Moon. The correlation is specious. 相似文献

Summary. We report the initial results of our attempts to obtain theoretical seismograms for direct comparison with the experimental time series obtained with the long-period instruments of the WWSSN. The entire theoretical seismogram, including both body waves and surface waves, can be generated for a spherical, anelastic earth by simple inverse Fourier transformation of the sum of the propagating fundamental and higher-mode surface waves. The key to success in reproducing the WWSSN records involves the number of modes, and the minimum period used in these computations; here we use eight modes and a minimum period of 2 s. Efficient computational algorithms make it possible to handle up to 2000 frequency points for each mode; approximately 200 layers are used to model the radial heterogeneity of the earth; attenuation is treated exactly. Examples are given of the SH theoretical seismograms resulting from dislocation sources buried at various depths in the Earth. 相似文献

Summary. The Lg phase has been shown previously to be a collection of higher-mode surface waves guided by the continental crust (Knopoff, Schwab & Kausel). A simple scaling between continental and oceanic crustal thicknesses suggests that a search for an oceanic Lg phase should be made in the period range from 1 to 2s. In a search for SH polarized Lg arrivals over oceanic paths, we found that in addition to the fundamental mode, seismo-grams at relatively short ranges in the Pacific showed the presence of only the first higher mode with group velocities on the steep portion of the dispersion curve rather than at the group velocity minimum as expected. Numerical model analysis indicates that, contrary to the continental case, there is no strong confluence of stationary phases of higher-mode crustal waves in the appropriate period range to produce Lg wave packets; this is due to small but significant differences in scaled crustal structures. Further, lateral variations in the thickness of oceanic sediments are sufficient to scatter most of the crustal surface-wave energy within a relatively short distance. Even were this thickness uniform, attenuation in the sediments would be strong enough to absorb the Lg stationary phases in a short distance. 相似文献

Summary. We consider the problem of the unilateral extension of a two-dimensional anti-plane crack that initiates spontaneously at a point. The crack extends under the influence of cohesive resistance at the edge and dynamical friction along the crack walls. The stresses in the region beyond the edge of the crack are approximated so that they are exactly equal to the cohesive stresses near the edge of the crack, and are zero on the wavefront. An exact method of solving such problems is also given and can be used to determine the validity of the approximation. We find that the crack will not grow if the cohesion exceeds some critical value; this is consistent with an earlier result obtained by Knopoff, Mouton & Burridge for a similar one-dimensional model of crack propagation. 相似文献

The first-order statistical moment of the seismic moment tensor 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Summary. If a complex earthquake is assumed to be a set of individual, randomly oriented elementary pure double couple sources, the solution for the seismic moment of the complex event projected on the mean trend of the fault will perforce be comprised of sources of both double couple and compensated linear vector dipole (CLVD) types. We investigate the statistical properties of these two components of seismic sources in terms of the invariants of the seismic moment tensor of a realistic set of synthetic earthquakes. It is very likely that the size of the CLVD component is two to three orders of magnitude smaller than that of the double couple component. 相似文献
