备注

基于EDGRN/EDCMP程序,计算了尼泊尔MW7.9地震引起的库仑应力变化对强余震的触发作用和对周边断层的加/卸载作用。结果 显示:4月25日MW6.7和4月26日MW6.8强余震均受到明显触发作用,地震产生的应力场扰动有利于2015年5月12日MW7.2强余震的发生。单独反演破裂模型和联合反演破裂模型的计算结果均显示:余震的分布和库仑应力变化的正值区有很好的对应关系,分别有85.5%和75.8%的余震落在库仑应力变化正值区。雅鲁藏布江缝合带西段的西侧受到超过10 kPa的库仑应力加载。喀喇昆仑断裂、班公错怒江缝合带、格林错断裂的库仑应力加载约为1 kPa。龙木错—邦达错断裂、玛尼玉树断裂以及嘉黎断裂受本次地震的影响较小。在震中的西北和东北方向,藏南典型南北向伸展构造受到了库仑应力加载作用,量值约为1 kPa。

Based on the EDGRN/EDCMP codes, we calculated the effect of the coulomb stress change induced by Nepal MW7.9 earthquake on strong aftershocks triggering and stress loading/unloading effect on nearby faults. The results show that the MW6.7 strong aftershock on Apr.25, and MW6.8 strong aftershock were significantly triggered, the co-seismic perturbed stress field contributes to the occurrence of MW7.2 aftershock on Apr.12. The calculation result by using signal earthquake inversion rupture model and joint inversion rupture model of signal earthquake both show that there were good corresponding relation between the positive zone of coulomb stress variation and the distribution of aftershocks, 85.5% and 75.8% of aftershocks located at the positive coulomb stress zone respectively. The coulomb stress loading on west side of Western Segment of Yarlung Zangbu River Suture Zone was larger than 10 kPa. The Karakoram Fault, Bangong Nujiang Suture Zone and Gelincuo Fault were mainly under stress loading of about 1 kPa. The Nepal MW7.9 earthquake has little influence on Longmucuo-Bangda, Mani-Yushu and Jiali Faults. In the northwest and northeast direction of the epicenter, the coulomb stress loading on typical S—N extensional structure in Southern Tibet was about 1 kPa.
