Abstract

ELASTIC strain rebound increments have been extensively considered by Benioff and others1–6. The results of their investigations indicate that strain rebound increments vary from region to region. Their characteristics are found to be linear and non-linear, tending to asymptotic and irregular. Such elastic strain rebound increments are simply a plot of the cumulative strain factor, J½, versus time, where J is the seismic wave energy and can be calculated from Gutenberg–Richter's relation7 as used by Benioff: where M is the magnitude of the earthquake.
