Statistics of Earthquakes in Simple Models of Heterogeneous Faults
Daniel S. Fisher, Karin Dahmen, Sharad Ramanathan, Yehuda Ben-Zion
Abstract
Simple models for ruptures along a heterogeneous earthquake fault zone are studied, focussing on the interplay between the roles of disorder and dynamical effects. A class of models are found to operate naturally at a critical point whose properties yield power law scaling of earthquake statistics. Various dynamical effects can change the behavior to a distribution of small events combined with characteristic system size events. The studies employ various analytic methods as well as simulations.
