Some earthquake models based on the elastic theory of dislocations are presented. Earthquake occurrence is modelled as the opening of a crack in an infinite elastic medium triggered by the action of localized stress distributions. The fracture is modelled as a continuum of infinitesimal dislocations. This approach allows us to have complete information about the stress field and the displacement field and to make a first step towards understanding the relation between source mechanism and stress distributions.

Abstract
Some earthquake models based on the elastic theory of dislocations are presented. Earthquake occurrence is modelled as the opening of a crack in an infinite elastic medium triggered by the action of localized stress distributions. The fracture is modelled as a continuum of infinitesimal dislocations. This approach allows us to have complete information about the stress field and the displacement field and to make a first step towards understanding the relation between source mechanism and stress distributions.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
