用滑动方向拟合法反演唐山余震区的平均应力场

将每个震源机制解的两个节面交替取作尝试的断层面,使计算的断层面上的剪切力方向与观测的断层面的滑动方向夹角最小,从而根据29个震源机制解结果反演了唐山余震区三个分区的平均主应力方向和中等主应力相对大小。本文结果说明,唐山余震区的最大主应力轴水平,取近东西方向,较之1976年唐山大震前的方向可能水平地顺时针转动了大约30。对同样地区用平均P,B,T轴推断主应力方向的结果与用上述方法所得结果基本一致。所作的数值试验说明,在特定情况下,用平均P,B,T轴推断构造应力主轴方向时有可能出现系统偏差。      

A possible change in stress field orientation due to the 1976 Tangshan earthquake

Two techniques are used to study the stress field in the Tangshan region. First, the mean directions of principal stress axes in three subregions of the Tangshan aftershock region are determined from 29 focal mechanism solutions. In doing so a slip-fitting technique is applied which determines the mean stress tensor by minimizing the angle between the observed slip direction on every fault plane and the calculated shear stress resolved onto the fault planes. Each of the two nodal planes of the focal mechanism solutions are alternately considered as a possible fault plane. Second, by making a grid search over all possible orientations of stress axes, the meanP,B andT axes in the Tangshan region, both before and after the Tangshan mainshock, are found on the basis of firstP-wave polarity readings from a number of small earthquakes. The results indicate that there is a possible azimuthal change of the principal stress axes in the focal region due to the occurrence of the mainshock.     

由构造应力场研究汶川地震断层的分段性

采用构造应力场均匀性对断层或板块边界进行分段的方法, 利用ldquo;裁剪-粘贴rdquo;法给出的余震震源机制解资料, 进一步从应力场角度确定汶川地震发震断层南、 北段分界点位置及南、北段震后应力场. 研究结果表明, 发震断层南、北段分界点位于北川附近, 与先前的研究结果较为一致. 南、 北段震后应力场反演结果显示, 南、北段的最大主应力轴方位均呈北东东向, 且近水平. 南、北段应力场反演的平均拟合残差和置信区间均较大, 主要原因可能是因为南、北段内应力场不均匀性造成的. 因为本文仅由大余震给出了震源断层的一级分段, 南、北段内应做进一步的细分.      

Field of tectonic stresses from focal mechanisms of earthquakes and recent crustal movements from GPS measurements in China

Orientations of the principal axes of the tectonic stress field reconstructed from seismological data on focal mechanisms of earthquakes and strain fields determined from GPS measurements in China are compared. The data of GPS measurements used in the paper were obtained by the Crustal Movement Observation Network of China (about 1000 stations) in the period of 1998–2004. On the basis of information on the recent horizontal crustal motions, the strain field is calculated for the study territory by the finite element method. Calculations of the strain tensor using GPS data were carried out with a step of 1° in latitude and longitude. A catalog of earthquake focal mechanisms was used for the reconstruction of tectonic stress field components. Focal mechanisms of earthquakes were calculated with the use of seismological data on signs of first arrivals from the bulletin of the International Seismological Center. To estimate characteristics of the regional stress field, an approach based on the kinematic method proposed by O.I. Gushchenko was applied. The tectonic stress field was reconstructed in depth intervals of 0 < H < 35 km and 35 km < H < 70 km from data on focal mechanisms of earthquakes over the periods of 1998–2004 and 1985–2004. Comparison of directions of the principal strain axes at the surface (according to GPS measurements) and directions of the principal stress axes (reconstructed from focal mechanisms of earthquakes) showed their good convergence. Seismotectonic strains and GPS measurements coincide within a larger part of the territory. The coincidence is best in a depth interval of 0 < H < 35 km. Maximum misfit values are confined to areas of high 3-D gradients of strain axis directions and are possibly related to the structural heterogeneity of the region, zones with strains of the same type along both horizontal axes (compression or extension along all directions), or areas of small absolute values of recent horizontal movements. Areas with invariable directions of the stress axes are recognizable regardless of the depth of initial data. Good reproducibility of results obtained by two different methods made it possible to check the method of stress field reconstruction using data on focal mechanisms of earthquakes.

Implications of principal stress axes and eigenvalue ratios on critical orientation of fractures. Application to two tectonic regions in Alaska

The principal stress axes and eigenvalue ratios of the stress tensors from two active seismic regions in Alaska (eastern Aleutian Arc and eastern Gulf of Alaska) are computed. These results are obtained using focal mechanisms of earthquakes with magnitudes ranging from 5.5 to 8.2 and show for both regions slightly different compressional states with an orientation of the pressure axis of N26°W for the eastern Gulf of Alaska and N27°W for the east Aleutian Arc. The eigenvalue ratios for the eastern Gulf of Alaska and east Aleutian Arc are 0.84 and 0.99, respectively. The algorithm used in computations allows us to detect some focal mechanisms which are incoherent with respect to the obtained stress tensors. These incoherences are explained in terms of some tectonic features of the region. The orientations of possible pre-existing fractures which would need an unrealistically high maximum shear stress to start a slip on their fault planes are also investigated. These critical orientations depend on a constitutive frictional law as well as on eigenvalue ratios and eigenvectors of the stress tensors. The orientation, which is given in our case by the angle between the normal vector to a fracture and the regional tensional axis, is approximately 59° for the eastern Aleutian Arc. This angle ranges from 49° to 59° for the eastern Gulf of Alaska. It must be pointed out that fractures which need unrealistically high shear stress to start slip on their fault planes are defined by a very narrow band of possible angles between tensional direction and the normal vector to fault plane.     

宁洱地震序列的震源机制解分析

利用云南数字地震台网资料得到宁洱地震序列的主震、5.1级强余震和52个余震震源机制解.分析表明,该地震序列的发震断裂呈NW走向,倾角陡立.在接近水平的近南北向压应力作用下,断裂具有右旋走滑的错动性质.主震、强余震和众多的余震都发生在同一发震断裂上.大量的余震震源机制解结果与主震一致,是地震序列的主要破裂类型,但还存在与主要类型不一致的倾向滑动类型,这可能与余震破裂起始点的微构造控制作用有关,但是它们呈水平向的应力轴与主震的主应力轴一致.NW向断层作右旋走向错动,滑动断层推挤的象限都是逆冲类型的余震,而拉张的象限都是正断层类型的地震.宁洱地震序列的震源机制和周围4次5级以上地震的震源机制相同,表明震源区应力场和区域应力场完全一致,宁洱地震的孕育和发生受区域应力场的控制.     

STUDY ON THE SEISMOGENIC FAULT AND DYNAMICS PARAME-TERS OF THE 2014 MS6.6 JINGGU EARTHQUAKE IN YUNNAN

On October 17, 2014, a M_S6.6 earthquake occurred in Jinggu, Yunnan. The epicenter was located in the western branch of Wuliang Mountain, the northwest extension line of Puwen Fault. There are 2 faults in the surrounding area, one is a sinistral strike-slip and the other is the dextral. Two faults have mutual intersection with conjugate joints property to form a checkerboard faulting structure. The structure of the area of the focal region is complex. The present-day tectonic movement is strong, and the aftershock distribution indicates the faulting surface trending NNW. There is no obvious surface rupture related to the known fault in the epicenter, and there is a certain distance from the surface of the Puwen fault zone. Regional seismic activity is strong. In 1941, there were two over magnitude 7.0 earthquakes in the south of the epicenter of Jinggu County and Mengzhe Town. In 1988, two mainshock-aftershock type earthquakes occurred in Canglan-Gengma Counties, the principal stress axes of the whole seismic area is in the direction of NNE. Geological method can be adopted to clarify the distribution of surficial fracture caused by active faults, and high-precision seismic positioning and spatial distribution characteristics of seismic sequences can contribute to understand deep seismogenic faults and geometric features. Thus, we can better analyze the three-dimensional spatial distribution characteristics of seismotectonics and the deep and shallow tectonic relationship. The focal mechanism reveals the property and faulting process to a certain extent, which can help us understand not only the active property of faults, but also the important basis for deep tectonic stress and seismogenic mechanism. In order to study the fault characteristic of the Jinggu earthquake, the stress field characteristics of the source area and the geometric parameters of the fault plane, this paper firstly uses the 15 days aftershock data of the Jingsuo M_S6.6 earthquake, to precisely locate the main shock and aftershock sequences using double-difference location method. The results show that the aftershock sequences have clustering characteristics along the NW direction, with a depth mainly of 5~15km. Based on the precise location, calculations are made to the focal mechanisms of a total of 46 earthquakes including the main shock and aftershocks with M_L ≥ 3.0 of the Jinggu earthquake. The double-couple(DC)component of the focal mechanism of the main shock shows that nodal plane Ⅰ:The strike is 239°, the dip 81°, and the rake -22°; nodal plane Ⅱ, the strike is 333°, the dip 68°, and the rake -170.31°. According to focal mechanism solutions, there are 42 earthquakes with a focal mechanism of strike-slip type, accounting for 91.3%. According to the distribution of the aftershock sequence, it can be inferred that the nodal plane Ⅱ is the seismogenic fault. The obtained focal mechanism is used to invert the stress field in the source region. The distribution of horizontal maximum principal stress orienation is concentrated. The main features of the regional tectonic stress field are under the NNE-SSW compression(P axis)and the NW-SE extension(T axis)and are also affected by NNW direction stress fields in the central region of Yunnan, which indicates that Jinggu earthquake fault, like Gengma earthquake, is a new NW-trending fault which is under domination of large-scale tectonic stress and effected by local tectonic stress environment. In order to define more accurately the occurrence of the fault plane of the Jinggu earthquake, with the precise location results and the stress field in the source region, the global optimal solution of the fault plane parameters and its error are obtained by using both global searching simulated annealing algorithm and local searching Gauss-Newton method. Since the parameters of the fault plane fitting process use the stress parameters obtained by the focal mechanism inversion, the data obtained by the fault plane fitting is more representative of the rupture plane, that is, the strike 332.75°, the dip 89.53°, and the rake -167.12°. The buried depth of the rupture plane is 2.746km, indicating that the source fault has not cut through the surface. Based on the stress field characteristics and the inversion results of the fault plane, it is preliminarily believed that the seismogenic structure of the Jinggu earthquake is a newly generated nearly vertical right-lateral strike-slip fault with normal component. The rupture plane length is about 17.2km, which does not extend to the Puwen fault zone. Jinggu earthquake occurred in Simao-Puer seismic region in the south of Sichuan-Yunnan plate. Its focal mechanism solution is similar to that of the three sub-events of the Gengma earthquake in November 1988. The seismogenic structure of both of them is NW-trending and the principal stress is NE-SW. The rupture plane of the Jinggu main shock(NW direction)is significantly different from the known near NS direction Lancang Fault and the near NE direction Jinggu Fault in the study area. It is preliminarily inferred that the seismogenic structure of this earthquake has a neogenetic feature.

根据2004年和2007年GPS复测资料,计算出中国大陆的水平主应变数据,显示出各亚板块的主压应变轴方向与震源机制解的P轴和用地质方法得到的主压应力轴基本一致,表明在区域上和长时期中,地壳的构造应力场是相对稳定的．中国大陆西部的青藏亚板块和新疆亚板块的主压应力轴,为南北向及北北东-南南西向,受欧亚板块和印度板块相互碰撞而产生的作用力的控制;东部的黑龙江亚板块和华北亚板块的主压应变轴,为北东东-南西西向,显示出受欧亚板块与北美板块、太平洋板块碰撞俯冲产生的作用力影响,同时也受青藏亚板块和新疆亚板块侧向作用力的影响;华南亚板块的主压应变轴,为北西西-南东东向,反映出受菲律滨海板块与欧亚板块碰撞产生的作用力影响,同时也受青藏亚板块侧向作用力的影响．通过比较2004-2007年与2001-2004年的主压应变轴方向,反映出两个时间段各亚板块的主压应力作用方向基本一致,只是主应力轴方向集中程度有一定差别．前后两个时间段不同单元的面应变率显示,压性变化为主的数量减少,张性变化为主的数量有所增多．

唐山地震序列的应力释放调整过程

本文搜集了1976年7月28日至1979年12月31日期间唐山地震序列中所有M_s≥4.0地震的初动资料。这些资料来自于68个地震台的记录图和其它14个地震台的数据。其中,167次地震得到可靠的断层面解。对这些断层面解的分析表明,震源区介质中的应力经历了一个由震前紧张平衡态,经主震后的极不稳定态,逐渐向松驰平衡态演变的释放调整过程;对于余震区的不同部分,该过程存在着细节上的差异。两种平衡态下应力主轴的空间取向基本相同,这意味着制约唐山地区构造应力场的周围环境因素没有因发生唐山地震而改变。因此,该地区的构造运动将有继承性,而地震活动将会间歇性地重现。     

用滑动方向拟合法反演富蕴地震断裂带应力场

本文根据野外考察测得的1931年新疆富蕴8级地震形成的地震断裂带内42组断层水平和垂直位移数据,求得42个断层面上的滑动方向.利用滑动方向拟合法(使计算的断层面上的剪切力方向与观测的滑动方向之间夹角最小)求出了断裂带上由北向南四个区段的驱动断层滑动的平均应力场.结果表明,四个区段的最大和最小主压应力轴皆水平,最大主压应力轴方位大致在 N15E 至 N30E 之间.整个断裂带的应力场相当均一,这说明富蕴大地震的发震原因不象是局部因素,而可能是大范围构造运动的结果.
