Next, we have fully examined how the focal mechanism data are explained by the estimated stress.
We use that piece of information as an initial stress model to invert focal mechanism data.
This preprocessing by principal component analysis (PCA) explained 99% of the variance in the EC mechanism data, and 99%/98% of the variance in the Eqr/EqrC mechanism data respectively.
The a priori strike, dip, and rake angles are assumed as the focal mechanism data nearest to the epicenter.
The epicenter and focal mechanism data are from the Japan Meteorological Agency and the F-net WWW server, respectively.
The innovation of the scheme has also a crowd feedback mechanism, data encapsulation, mobile management, and sensory feedback.
In our focal mechanism data, three normal faulting events are located around the fault (Fig. 5) and many events are distributed in the active cluster area (Fig. 6).
Based on focal mechanism data, the authors interpreted that these earthquakes occurred within the subducting Indian Plate rather than along the plate interface.
Another important limitation in this study was the omission of injury mechanism due to the fact that MEPS stopped collecting mechanism data in panel 10.
The moment tensor analysis, in which the F-net focal mechanism data are determined, utilizes the unified hypocenter catalogue (Japan Meteorological Agency, 1998).
Using the obtained focal mechanism data we applied a stress tensor inversion method to invert for stress field along and around the fault.
