- Modal Filtering of Depth-Dependent Stress Drop in a Finite Seismogenic Layer: An Analytical Source Model for Effective Rupture Thickness (2026) · Pure and Applied Geophysics · doi
Classical source models incorporate the finite thickness of the seismogenic layer in a largely geometric manner, implicitly assuming a direct mapping between depth-dependent stress drop and fault slip. There is a need for an analytical earthquake source model that explicitly accounts for the elastic boundary conditions governing deformation within a finite-thickness seismogenic layer.

Overall, the results support the temporal compatibility and physical plausibility of rapid elastic stress redistribution as a potential triggering mechanism, while recognizing that the available geological and seismological data are insufficient to establish a direct causal relationship or demonstrate fault reactivation.
