Abstract: | The source parameters of the Bohai Sea earthquake, July 18, 1969 and Yongshan, Yunnan earthquake, May 11, 1974 were determined
by full — wave theory synthetic seismograms of teleseismic P waves. P+pP+sP wereform were calculated with WKBJ approximation
and real integral paths. One — dimensional unilateral, finite propagation source was also considered. By trail — and — error
in comparing the theoretical seismograms with the observational ones of WWSSN stations, the source parameters were obtained
as follow: for Bohai earthquake, φ=195°, δ=85°, λ=65°,M
o=0.9×1019Nm,L=59.9km.V
R=3.5km/s, ∧
R
=160°; for Yongshan earthquake, φ=240°, δ=80°, ∧=150°,M
o=1.3×1018Nm,L=48.8km,V
R=3km/s, ∧
R
=−10°, where φ is strike, δ dip angle, λ slip angle,M
o seismic moment,L rupture length,V
R rupture propagation speed. As III type fractures the faulting propagated along the fault planes, and ∧
R
is the angle from the strike to the propagation direction. Yongshan earthquake showed complexity in its focal process, having
four sub—ruptures during the first 60 seconds.
