Abstract:
The statistical models of earthquake focal processes covering topological, kinetic, energetic and scaling aspects of the phenomenon are considered on the basis of the percolation and reliability theories. It is shown that these models do not contradict the basic experimental data of physics of fracture and seismology. Some predictive signs are also considered.
