| Abstract | The 2016 Mw 5.9 Menyuan earthquake occurred near the Haiyuan fault system in the northeastern Tibetan plateau. Although some kinematic properties of this event have been investigated, more dynamic properties still need to be clarified. First, we use the empirical Green's function method to obtain this event's apparent source time functions (ASTFs), which present a bell shape with a duration of 3s and corresponding smooth spectra. We then conduct dynamic rupture simulations, which are well constrained by the seismic and geodetic observations, to explore more in-depth source properties. The results show that the characteristics of ASTFs can be explained by the self-arresting rupture model, which implies that the rupture propagation of this event may spontaneously terminate before reaching the barriers. This result suggests that the initial conditions when this earthquake nucleated may have controlled the rupture process. Our work contributes to understanding the stopping mechanism of some moderate earthquake ruptures. |
