| Research Abstract |
In the present study we investigated the high frequency (HF) radiation mechanism of the 2000 Tottori earthquake, Japan, based on a 3D spontaneous fault rupture dynamic model. Local rupture velocity changes were calculated as the divergence of local rupture velocity vectors, which were derived from gradients of rupture times from the dynamic model. Our numerical model of the Tottori earthquake indicates that rupture velocity changes are largely induced by barriers across the fault plane, and that HF radiation mainly originates within asperities, in areas where the product of dynamic stress drop and rupture velocity changes is maximum. We developed a strong ground motion simulation methodology that incorporates our HF radiation model based on a dynamic fault rupture. Using this methodology we investigated the HF radiation of the Tottori earthquake by inverting observed near-source acceleration envelopes of the earthquake. Our inversion results show that significant HF radiation represents no more than a 20% of the total asperity area.
