Fractal source structure, energy scaling, and similarity for a modified Burridge-Knopoff model Abstract A pseudostochastic set of shear areas for computer-generated earthquakes in a modified two-dimensional Burridge-Knopoff model demonstrates some fractal properties. The energy of events and geometrical source parameters are found to be related by a power law. A number of similarity laws postulated in classical seismology do not hold in the model. Back to |
