Seismic Activation Modeling with Statistical Physics

Authors: Daniel Brox

Starting from a quasi-elastostatic description of a seismic activation region, it is explained how accelerating seismic release preceding a mainshock event can be described in terms of a 2D linear sigma model with quartic self interaction. This model is demonstrated to account for the discrepancy in accelerating release critical exponents calculated by fracture damage mechanics and critical point models of seismic activation.
