采用可变滑动震源模型,计算Ms8.1昆仑山口西地震产生的库仑破裂应力变化,解释余震的空间分布特征。以此为基础,分析了此次大地震在周边断层上产生的应力变化及其对地震活动性的影响。结果表明,两个模型和两种方法计算得到的应力变化均呈现相似的分布特征。应力增加区与后续地震活动的对应关系,反映昆仑山口西地震对后续地震活动的触发效应。玛尼断裂带和东昆仑断裂带受应力变化影响最明显。
Using the variable slip model, we calculate the Coulomb failure stress cnanges caused by the Kunlun Ms 8. 1 earthquake, and explain the spatial distribution of aftershocks. On the basis of calculations, we determine the stress changes on nearby faults in the surrounding area, and investigate the effect on the seismic activities. Results show that the distribution of stress changes displays similar characteristics using two methods and two models. The correspondence between the stress change and seismicity is good, which indicate that the stress triggering effects induced by the Kunlun earthquake exist. The Mani fault and the eastern Kunlun fault are calculated to be obviously affected by the stress changes.
