On the recent seismic activity at Kefalonia island (Greece): Manifestations of an Earth system in critical state

Y. Contoyiannis, S. M. Potirakis, J. Kopanas +4

In this paper we show, in terms of fracture-induced electromagnetic emissions (EME) that the Earth system around the focal areas came to critical condition a few days before the oc…

Current challenges for preseismic electromagnetic emissions: shedding light from micro-scale plastic flow, granular packings, phase transitions and self-affinity notion of fracture process

K. Eftaxias, S. M. Potirakis

Are there credible electromagnetic (EM) EQ precursors? This a question debated in the scientific community and there may be legitimate reasons for the critical views. The negative…

Dynamical analogy between economical crisis and earthquake dynamics within the nonextensive statistical mechanics framework

Stelios M. Potirakis, Pavlos I. Zitis, Konstantinos Eftaxias

The field of study of complex systems considers that the dynamics of complex systems are founded on universal principles that may be used to describe a great variety of scientific…

On the puzzling feature of the silence of precursory electromagnetic emissions

K. Eftaxias, S. M. Potirakis, T. Chelidze

It has been suggested that fracture-induced MHz-kHz electromagnetic (EM) emissions, which emerge from a few days up to a few hours before the main seismic shock occurrence permit a…

The Earth as a living planet: human-type diseases in the earthquake preparation process

Y. F. Contoyiannis, S. M. Potirakis, K. Eftaxias

The new field of complex systems supports the view that a number of systems arising from disciplines as diverse as physics, biology, engineering, and economics may have certain qua…

Dynamical analogy between epileptic seizures and seismogenic electromagnetic emissions by means of nonextensive statistical mechanics

Konstantinos Eftaxias, George Minadakis, Stelios. M. Potirakis +1

The field of study of complex systems considers that the dynamics of complex systems are founded on universal principles that may be used to describe a great variety of scientific…

Sudden drop of fractal dimension of electromagnetic emissions recorded prior to significant earthquake

S. M. Potirakis, G. Minadakis, K. Eftaxias

The variation of fractal dimension and entropy during a damage evolution process, especially approaching critical failure, has been recently investigated. A sudden drop of fractal…

Relation between seismicity and pre-earthquake electromagnetic emissions in terms of energy, information and entropy content

S. M. Potirakis, G. Minadakis, K. Eftaxias

In this paper we show, in terms of Fisher information and approximate entropy, that the two strong impulsive kHz electromagnetic (EM) bursts recorder prior to the Athens EQ (7 Sept…

Linking electromagnetic precursors with earthquake dynamics: an approach based on nonextensive fragment and self-affine asperity models

G. Minadakis, S. M. Potirakis, C. Nomicos +1

EM emissions in a wide frequency spectrum ranging from kHz to MHz are produced by opening cracks, which can be considered as precursors of general fracture. An important feature, o…
