Sentence examples for location of rupture from inspiring English sources
Then, instead of using the epicenter location in hypocenter catalogues that is the location of rupture initiation, we adopt the centroid coordinates of aftershocks for the model (2).
Figure 1 shows the location of rupture using data of Peak Ground Velocity according the Finite Fault Model calculate by Ji and Hayes (2008).
Hence, it is expected that the FRP sheets have achieved higher strain values at the location of rupture, i.e. higher than the values attained at column mid height.
In other words, geometry of active faults would control the location of rupture initiation points as was proposed by King and Nábělek (1985), in addition to foreshock/mainshock processes.
The location of rupture areas of these large earthquakes exhibits a Seismic Gap and one such example is between 1905 Kangra and 1934 Bihar-Nepal earthquakes which is termed Central Seismic Gap (Khattri 1987; Khattri and Tyagi 1983; Bilham et al. 1998; Bilham and Wallace 2005; Gupta and Gahalaut 2014) (Fig. 1a).
The candidate locations of rupture starting points can be estimated following Nakata et al. (1998) who gave a model of the relation between the branching geometry of active faults and the location of the rupture starting point.
In order to determine the location of the rupture starting point and rupture time for each SMGA objectively, we read the onset of S1 S4 at stations along the source region.
The location of the rupture starting point and the rupture time relative to the origin time for each SMGA.
Heterogeneity of the fault rupture process was modeled by randomizing the location of initial rupture (hypocenter), slip vectors (slip, rake), and rise-times of subfaults in this study.
Solid stars indicate the initiation location of the rupture, and gray stars indicate the hypocenter of the secondary rupture.
The best location of the rupture starting point on the Yunodake fault is indicated by the blue star in Figure 3a, and the rupture delay time is selected as 4.5 s.
