Ground subsidence in urban areas is a significant problem because it increases flood risk,
damages buildings and infrastructure, and results in economic loss. Continual monitoring of …

As stresses following rupture are dissipated continuous measurements of postseismic
surface deformation provide insight into variations of the frictional strength of faults and the …

A highly stressed area where eventual ruptures have often been observed to nucleate is
characterized by low b values of earthquake frequency‐size distribution. Crustal deformation …

Historical seismic catalogs of Italy record several instances of pairs or triplets of large
earthquakes (M w> 6.7) along the Apennine chain, occurring on the same date or within a …

Transient creep of crustal rocks is important to explain time‐dependent geological
processes such as postseismic deformation following a large continental earthquake. While …

In tectonically active regions, post-earthquake motions are generally shaped by a
combination of continued fault slippage (afterslip) on a timescale of days to months and …

In this paper, we present a formulation of fractional viscoelasticity of nonlinear time-
dependent responses of isotropic materials undergoing small deformation gradients. The …

For understanding the physical condition of earthquake generation, we estimated the
deviatoric stress fields and fault planes of the large earthquakes in the hypocentral area of …

The viscoelastic lower crust beneath Kyushu Island, influenced by the volcanic arc,
interplays with active crustal faults in this region and helps to shape local tectonics. In this …

Coseismic and postseismic crustal deformations caused by earthquake episodes are
important in understanding the mechanisms of these episodes as well as the fault rheology …
