Characterization of the tail of the distribution of earthquake magnitudes by combining the GEV and GPD descriptions of Extreme Value Theory
V. F. Pisarenko, A. Sornette, D. Sornette +1
We present a generic and powerful approach to study the statistics of extreme phenomena (meteorology, finance, biology...) that we apply to the statistical estimation of the tail o…
New Approach to the Characterization of Mmax and of the Tail of the Distribution of Earthquake Magnitudes
V. F. Pisarenko, A. Sornette, D. Sornette +1
We develop a new method for the statistical esitmation of the tail of the distribution of earthquake sizes recorded in the Worldwide Harvard catalog of seismic moments converted to…
Acoustic fluidization for earthquakes?
D. Sornette, A. Sornette
Melosh [1996] has suggested that acoustic fluidization could provide an alternative to theories that are invoked as explanations for why some crustal faults appear to be weak. We s…
Renormalization of earthquake aftershocks
A. Sornette, D. Sornette
Together with the Gutenberg-Richter distribution of earthquake magnitudes, Omori's law is the best established empirical characterization of earthquake sequences and states that th…
General theory of the modified Gutenberg-Richter law for large seismic moments
D. Sornette, A. Sornette
The Gutenberg-Richter power law distribution of earthquake sizes is one of the most famous example illustrating self-similarity. It is well-known that the Gutenberg-Richter distrib…
Solid friction at high sliding velocities: an explicit 3D dynamical SPH approach
C. Maveyraud, W. Benz, G. Ouillon +2
We present realistic 3D numerical simulations of elastic bodies sliding on top of each other in a regime of velocities ranging from meters to tens of meters per second using the so…
