We simulated the strong motions at Onagawa, Japan, during the 2011 off Miyagi intra-slab earthquake (Mw7.1) by the empirical Green’s function method. We used some diffe [...]

It is necessary to judge whether the active faults located closely to each other will rupture together or independently for predicting the magnitude and the probability o [...]

We examined the effects of the random parameters in the stochastic Green’s function method on the predicted strong ground motions in this paper. Assuming lateral strike [...]

The strong ground motions and the displacement of the surface fault trace are the results of the rupture of the subsurface fault, but they are not related physically with [...]

In Japan, asperity models, consisting of asperities of high stress drop and backgrounds of no stress drop, are often adopted as kinematic source models for predicting str [...]
