"We need to understand what it is about dogs that results in this triggering effect.
Chen, K. H., R. Bürgmann, and R. M. Nadeau, (2010), Triggering effect of M 4-5 earthquakes on the earthquake cycle of repeating events at Parkfield, California Bull.
"In general, we don't think there's a triggering effect over that kind of a distance," said Don Blakeman, a geophysicist with the USGS.
The relevance of this process lays in its triggering effect of toughening mechanisms in polymer based composites.
Failure modes and geometrical designs such as shapes, geometry and triggering effect have been studied where these factors affected on peak load and specific energy absorption significantly.
This possible triggering effect should be stronger for shallower earthquakes.
Hence, we also consider the triggering effect near the Tangshan aftershock zone as statistically significant.
Furthermore, we examined whether a triggering effect from the 2011 M9.0 Tohoku-Oki earthquake existed in this area.
The long-term triggering effect is described in time by an inverse exponential function with a characteristic time t.
This study does not consider the triggering effect from smaller events that are below the magnitude threshold, 4.0.
In all three cases, the most clear triggering effect is observed at stations NKY and DHC about 35 km SW of Beijing.
