Dynamic Rupture and Near-Fault Ground-Motion Simulation of the 1973 MS7.6 Luhuo, China, Earthquake
The 1973 MS7.6 Luhuo earthquake is the most representative strike-slip event in the Xianshuihe fault zone, yet published source models differ markedly, and the mechanism that arrested its rupture near Renda remains poorly understood. Using spectral-element dynamic rupture simulations with a nonplanar fault geometry, th...
