  1. GeoFEM Kinematic Earthquake Cycle Modeling in the Japanese Islands Hirahara, K.(1), H. Suito(1), M. Hyodo(1) M. Iizuka(2) and H. Okuda(3) (1)Nagoya University (2)Research Organization for Information Science and Technology (3)University of Tokyo

  2. Outline ・Present status of developing GeoFEM earthquake cycle simulation module in a local model ( as Drs. Okuda, Nakajima, Kato and Furumura presented in this meeting) ・Simulation of crustal deformation using kinematic earthquake cycle based on dislocation model ・Northeast Japan model: 100 years Compare present GPS and 100-year conventional geodetic observations with computed ones Possible slow slip event in early 1900’s ? ・Southwest Japan model: 300 years GPS observed concentrated deformed zone (NKTZ)

  3. Earthquake Generation and Strong Motion in 3-D Heterogeneous Media Quasi-Static Modeling of Earthquake Cycle Fault Constitutive Law Interaction on and between Faults Wave Propagation in Heterogeneous Media Dynamic Modeling of Earthquake Rupture Simulation and Prediction of Strong Motion Inland Active Fault Interplate Earthquake Fault Frictional Law Plate Subduction Viscoelastic Interaction

  4. Present status of GeoFEM development : Kinematic modeling • 3-D viscoelastic parallel FEM(time domain) Elastic/Maxwell/Standard linear solid • Dislocation model In progress: • ・Contact analysis on plate boundaries, active • faults • Implementation of friction law(R/S F) • Plate motion→Quasi-static slip evolution • →Dynamic fault rupture→Strong motion

  5. Kinematic Earthquake Cycle using dislocation (Savage,1983) (a) Interseismic Steady Motion Continental plate Subduction Oceanic plate Continental plateト ***** all decoupled = Oceanic plate locked + Back Slip Continental plate (b) Coseismic ***** Oceanic plate locked Interplate Earthquake Continental plate ***** Oceanic plate locked

  6. Present stage of our study ★Crustal motion modeling Based on dislocation model, Simulate the past and the present crustal motion in Northeast and Southwest Japan, respectively.
