A displacement-dependent moment tensor method for simulating fault-slip induced seismicity

Fault-slip induced by underground longwall mining could trigger dynamic failure to nearby mine openings. A better understanding of fault-slip behavior and the associated seismicity is significant for estimating the triggered damage and finding a feasible way to predict potential larger events. In this study, a displacement-dependent moment tensor method is introduced and embedded in the FLAC3D code to simulate both small-scale direct shear test...
