Multilayer Capacitor Model Of The Earth's Upper Crust, Berk Üstündağ, Özcan Kalenderli̇, Haluk Eyi̇doğan
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this study, an equivalent electric circuit model of Earth's upper crust is proposed to explain the behavior of measurement patterns acquired from network of the earthquake forecast project. A multi-layer capacitor model having active components that couples with the monopolar probe close to the surface is used to determine earthquake precursory patterns due to structural changes in time. Equivalent circuit model was developed for a) dilatency process that is assumed to be a stress weakening reason and b) external force source that increases shear stress over the fault until sudden decrement before the earthquake. A data acquisition system consisting …
