Aftershocks are a response to changes in stress generated by large earthquakes and
represent the most common observations of the triggering of earthquakes. The maximum …

We develop new empirical scaling laws for rupture width W⁠, rupture length L⁠, rupture
area A⁠, and average slip D⁠, based on a large database of rupture models. The database …

Slip inversion is a widely used analysis method using seismic and/or geodetic data, which
determines the spatial and temporal distribution of fault slip, namely a slip model. This …

Constitutive laws define the boundary conditions on fault plane and govern many aspects of
earthquake failure. Although several constitutive laws have been formulated based on …

We estimate strong motion generation areas that reproduce near-source ground motions in
a broadband frequency range (0.2-10 Hz) using the empirical Green's function technique …

Abstract The 17 January 1995 Hyogo-ken Nanbu earthquake is a typical example showing
that the ground motions along basin-edge faults can be very destructive. In this study, we …

A method for simulating strong ground motion for a large earthquake based on synthetic
Green's function is presented. We use the synthetic motions of a small event as Green's …

Abstract The 1995 Hyogo-Ken Nanbu earthquake struck the heavily populated Kobe and
adjacent cities in western Japan. More than 6400 people were killed, and more than …

The source geometry and slip distribution at rupture termination of the 1995 Hyogo-ken
Nanbu earthquake were investigated using waveform inversion on the assumption of fault …

We examined a new scaling relation between source area S and seismic moment M 0 for
large crustal earthquakes on “mega-fault” systems, including earthquakes with magnitudes …
