An Algorithm of Fault Parameter Determination Using Distribution of Small Earthquakes and Parameters of Regional Stress Field and Its Application to Tangshan Earthquake Sequence

Abstract It is known that clustered small earthquakes often occur in the fault plane vicinities of large earthquakes. Based on the simulated annealing and Gauss‐Newtonian nonlinear inversion algorithms, we develop a robust algorithm to estimate fault plane parameters of strong earthquakes such as st... View More
