It was assumed that the stress wave propagation velocities from a micro-seismic source to three nearest monitoring sensors in a sensor's array arrangement were the same. Since the defined objective function does not require pre-measurement of the stress wave propagation velocity in the field, errors from the velocity measurement can be avoided in comparison to three traditional velocity models. By analyzing 24 different cases, the proposed multidirectional velocity model iterated by the Simplex method is found to be the best option no matter the source is within the region of the sensor's array or not. The proposed model and the adopted iterative algorithm are verified by field data and it is concluded that it can significantly reduce the error of the estimated source location.展开更多

Seven regions around this block have been examined where the eight large earthquakes with M≥6.0 for the complete data occurred. In order to display the temporal distribution of the correlation dimension D 2, a moving window of fixed number of events is used in every of the seven regions. Except for two regions with less seismic activity, all other five regions have obviously been found to display sudden changes of the correlation dimension for the events with M≥4.5.展开更多
