Physical mechanism for severe seismic hazard in the 2010 Yushu, China, earthquake (Mw= 6.9): insights from FEM simulations

The moderate-size 2010 Yushu earthquake (Mw 6.9) caused severe seismic damage around the source region which is situated on the sparsely populated hinterland of the Tibetan Plateau. But until now the mechanisms have not been well understood. To this end, we constructed the model to simulate the faul...
