Cover Story: Numerical simulations based on continuum mechanics are promising methods for the estimation of surface fault displacements. We developed a parallel finite element method program to perform such simulations and applied the program to reproduce the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake, where surface rupture was observed. The simulation reproduced the occurrence of secondary surface ruptures in the target area, and calculated surface slips are comparable in magnitude with observation. Moreover, multiple predictive simulations provided the effect of slip distribution on the main fault on the likelihood of triggered secondary faults. View this paper
