Focal mechanisms of 32 North American midplate earthquakes (mb= 3.8–6.5) were
evaluated to determine if slip is compatible with a broad‐scale regional stress field derived …

The shear stress direction on a fault plane depends only on four of the six components of the
stress tensor. Assuming only that the slip direction marks the shear stress direction on any …

The numerical method described in this paper enables the study in terms of stress of the
kinematics of seismic faults provided by focal mechanisms. This method assumes a mean …

We analyzed 118 well‐constrained focal mechanisms to estimate the pore fluid pressure
field of the stimulated region during the fluid injection experiment in Basel, Switzerland. This …

We review the evolution of concepts on and methods of estimating the state of stress from
fault movements. Theories of failure in isotropic materials suggested a simple geometrical …

Focal mechanisms have been determined from P wave first motion polarities for 138 small to
moderate (2.6≤ M≤ 4.3) earthquakes that occurred within 10 km of the surface trace of the …

Comparisons between the yearly volume of steam withdrawn from The Geysers, California,
geothermal reservoir and the number of earthquakes indicate that most of the seismicity is …

Abstract On 6 February 2023, the Elbistan (Kahramanmaraş)(Mw7. 6) earthquake produced
a strike-slip type coseismic surface rupture zone, involving the sinistral slip of the …

Algorithm of natural stress reconstruction based on data on slip fault sets is presented. Also
additional physical principles following from generalization of experimental geomechanics …

Utilizing 75 high quality individual earthquake focal plane mechanisms and 10 formal stress
inversions we investigate the consistency of regional stress orientations in the central and …
