In the last decade of the 20th century, there has been great
progress in the physics of earthquake generation; that is, the
introduction of laboratory-based fault constitutive laws as a basic
equation governing earthquake rupture, quantitative description of
tectonic loading driven by plate motion, and a microscopic approach
to study fault zone processes. The fault constitutive law plays the
role of an interface between microscopic processes in fault zones
and macroscopic processes of a fault system, and the plate motion
connects diverse crustal activities with mantle dynamics. An
ambitious challenge for us is to develop realistic computer
simulation models for the complete earthquake process on the basis
of microphysics in fault zones and macro-dynamics in the
crust-mantle system. Recent advances in high performance computer
technology and numerical simulation methodology are bringing this
vision within reach. The book consists of two parts and presents a
cross-section of cutting-edge research in the field of
computational earthquake physics. Part I includes works on
microphysics of rupture and fault constitutive laws, and dynamic
rupture, wave propagation and strong ground motion. Part II covers
earthquake cycles, crustal deformation, plate dynamics, and
seismicity change and its physical interpretation. Topics in Part
II range from the 3-D simulations of earthquake generation cycles
and interseismic crustal deformation associated with plate
subduction to the development of new methods for analyzing
geophysical and geodetical data and new simulation algorithms for
large amplitude folding and mantle convection with
viscoelastic/brittle lithosphere, as well as a theoretical study of
accelerated seismic release on heterogeneous faults, simulation of
long-range automaton models of earthquakes, and various approaches
to earthquake predicition based on underlying physical and/or
statistical models for seismicity change.
