THE FINITE ELEMENT MODELLING FOR THE FRACTURE PROCESS OF 1966 XINGTAI EARTHQUAKE SEQUENCE

Based on the aftershoek distribution in different periods of time, focal mechanism solution aud horizontal deformation related to the earthquakes, a new fault model for the fracture process of the 1966 Xingtai earthquake sequence is suggested in this paper. A variety of computation is proceeded by using finite elemet method then the fault parameters which are best fitted with the observational results are given in this paper.
