Abstract:A combination model of disclination-dislocation which can describe the three-dimensional translational and rotational motion of the fault is given. We used the combined model and the dislocation model to calculate the coseismic horizontal displacement of 102 points of Wenchuan earthquake respectively. The result indicates that the horizontal displacements calculated by the two models are generally in agreement with the GPS observations both in magnitude and direction, but there are some differences in some poi… Show more
