Abstract
This paper presents the stress incremental rate of each element by using finite element numerical simulation way. Combined with the practical continent boundary condition and medium parameters, this paper applies the stress increment rate to the more practical modified cell automation model according to the cell automaton principle. The paper preliminarily gives the more practical seismic space-time repeated evolutive maps, and compares the imitative seismic energy release with the real seismic energy release. It is thought that this model has its advantage over the old one whether in the seismic imitative characteristics or in the comparison with the real situation and is more practical model.
