We segmented this 40-year period, parted the research region and calculated the composite fault plane solution of each block, disscussed the effect characteristics of stress field of water pressure using Mohrs stress circle. The final result shows that the main rupture pattern was very different before and after the M = 6.1 main shock, changing from strike slip to normal rupture. The maximum principal stress axes of composite fault plane solutions are characterized by synchronous change with water level.展开更多
