Based on GPS data,we have inversed the Wenchuan MW7.9 coseismic slip distributions by utilizing automated fault model discretization method. The results show:(1)The slip distributions based on automated fault model discretization appear well smooth.(2)It was a thrust-type earthquake with a small amount of right-lateral slip component. In Yingxiu-Beichuan fracture zone,the maximal sliding reached 15 m,average magnitude is 2.61 m. In the Guanxian-Jiangyou fracture zone,the maximal sliding reached 8 m,average sliding magnitude is 1.58 m. Meanwhile the inversed seismic moment M0 is 9.153 8×1020N·m corresponding to moment magnitude MW is 7.91.(3)The comparison between forward modeling results and the measured results shows that the displacement fields are consistent on the trend of movement,the root mean square error(RMSE)within a reasonable range,and this also verifies the feasibility of automated fault model discretization method.
