摘要The correlation of the scaled energy, ê = Es/ M0, versus earthquake magnitude, MS, is studied based on two models: (1) Model 1 based on the use of the time function of the average displacements, with a ω-2 source spectrum, across a fault plane; and (2) Model 2 based on the use of the time function of the average displacements, with a ω-3 source spectrum, across a fault plane. For the second model, there are two cases: (a) As τ≠T, where τ is the rise time and T the rupture time, lg(ê) /home/cenc -MS; and (b) As τ << T, lg(ê) /home/cenc -(1/2)MS. The second model leads to a negative value of ê. This means that Model 2 cannot work for studying the present problem. The results obtained from Model 1 suggest that the source model is a factor, yet not a unique one, in controlling the correlation of ê versus MS.
