The stress field of Vrancea region from fault plane solution (FPS)

The stress field of Vrancea region from fault plane solution (FPS)

The fault plane solutions (FPS) of 247 seismic events were used for stress field investigation of the region. The eigenvectors <i><b>t</i></b>, <i><b>p</i></b>, <i><b&...
