StudyonThree-DimensionalNon-PlanarFaultRuptureDynamics

Introduction:

Thepredictionandpreventionofearthquakeshavealwaysbeenachallengingtaskforseismologists.Thestudyoffaultrupturedynamicsplaysasignificantroleinearthquakeforecastingandmitigation.Althoughalotofresearchhasbeenconductedtounderstandthedynamicsofplanarfaults,non-planarfaultsaremorecommonlyobservedinnatureandpresentagreaterchallengeinunderstandingtheirbehavior.Therefore,itisessentialtostudythedynamicsofnon-planarfaultstomakeaccurateearthquakepredictions.

Objectives:

Theprimaryobjectiveofthisstudyistoinvestigatethedynamicsofthree-dimensionalnon-planarfaultrupture.Thespecificobjectivesare:

1.Toanalyzetheeffectsoffaultgeometry,orientation,andslipontherupturedynamics.

2.Tostudytheslipdistributionandstressdropofnon-planarfaultsystems.

3.Toinvestigatetheeffectsoffault-zoneheterogeneityontherupturedynamics.

4.Tocomparetheresultswithpreviousstudiesonplanarfaultsandidentifythedifferences.
