Abstract Analysis of tectonic stress from the inversion of fault kinematic and earthquake focal
mechanism data is routinely done using a wide variety of direct inversion, iterative and grid …

Field and radiometric data are used to describe and date strain and stress states in southern
(longitude 88° to 91° E, latitude 28° to 30° N) and western Tibet (longitude 79° to 82° E …

The inversion of earthquake focal mechanisms is one of the few tools available for
determining principal stress directions at seismogenic depths. Various methods have been …

We describe the Gauss method for reconstructing paleostress tensors from heterogeneous
fault-slip data. We define compatibility measure and compatibility function, which verify the …

We describe integrated computer programs for graphical presentation, on-screen selection,
and reduced stress tensor calculation of fault-striae data. The input consists of dip azimuth …

İzmir Bay is an actively growing shallow marine basin controlled by active faults trending NE,
NW, NS and EW, in the West Anatolian Extensional Province. The bay of İzmir is a lazy L …

Palaeostress estimation from striated fault data is frequently frustrated by the fact that natural
fault data are heterogeneous in the sense that they cannot satisfactorily be explained by …

Paleostress orientations and relative paleostress magnitudes (stress ratios), determined by
using the reduced stress concept, are used to improve the understanding of the kinematic …

Two major structural events characterize the tectonic evolution of the Northern Calcareous
Alps (NCA):(1) late-Early Cretaceous to Late Eocene NW-directed, dextral-transpressional …

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 …
