摘要

There has been much global research on static earthquake triggering, with outstanding outcomes. However, it is still not clear if this model works for all significant earthquakes. We examined the static coulomb stress triggering theory, which states that co-seismic stress variations brought on by significant earthquakes affect seismicity. The shear and normal stress on nearby faults are altered by an earthquake. New evidence supports the theory that such small, abrupt stress changes cause substantial changes in seismicity rate. Rates rise in areas of increased stress (aftershocks) and reduce in areas of decreased stress. In this paper, the association between coulomb stress rises and the geographic location of the subsequent occurrences allowed us to study the Coulomb failure function (∆CFF) caused by four thrust earthquakes with magnitudes (Mw ≥ 6.5) during 1905–2005. There is no conclusive proof that the aftershocks were made more likely to happen as a result of the coulomb stress variations brought on by these earthquakes. The number of aftershocks that are encouraged is less concentrated after the Kangra earthquake, the Uttarkashi earthquake, and the Chamoli earthquake, respectively. However, the Kashmir earthquake, which increased the maximum of future incidents, fits well with the static triggering model. We also calculated the coulomb stress variations with a different effective coefficient of friction and different source models. It is still less promoted aftershocks. However, the static triggering model is good for the Kashmir earthquake.
