Abstract: In this paper we present results of spectral structure of crustal velocity inhomogeneity beneath the southeastern margin of Tibetan plateau and its adjacent region based on the S wave envelope broadening algorithm. The spectral structure of 8~16Hz band is selected to analyze the special character of crustal inhomogeneity and discuss the correlation between strong earthquakes and inhomogeneities. The result shows that strong and complex inhomogeneities of crustal medium are found in the southeastern margin of Tibetan plateau and its adjacent region. In the upper part of upper crust, the strong and small scale inhomogeneities are imaged in the Longmengshan fault zone and the north of the Anninghe fault zone, the weak and large scale inhomogeneites are imaged in the section from Huolu to Daofu of Xianshuihe fault zone and the south of the Anninghe fault zone. In the lower part of upper crust, strong inhomogeneites are found in the Longmengshan fault zone, Lianfeng fault zone, the north of the Anninghe fault zone and the sections from Huolu to Daofu of the Xianshuihe fault zone, weak inhomogeneites are found in the section from Daofu to Kangding of Xianshuihe fault zone. In the middle crust, strong inhomogeneities are observed in the section of the Baoxing to Dujiangyan, the Baoxing to Kangding, and Kangding to Shimian, and weak inhomogeneities are observed in the northwestern section from Huolu to Kangding, and the Lianfeng fault zone. Comparing the medium inhomogeneities with the location of the strong earthquakes, our results suggest existence of high correlation between them. Strong earthquakes are often located in the transitionary zone between the strong and the weak inhomogeneities. The spatial distribution of the strong and the weak medium inhomogeneities may be related to the broken medium from the strong movement of geological tectonic and the heat flow upwelling along active faults induced by frequent tectonic and volcanic activity.

摘要： 用S波包络展宽法对青藏高原东南缘及邻区地壳介质非均匀性谱结构进行了研究，并以8~16Hz非均匀性谱结构为例分析了地壳介质非均匀性空间特征及其与强震孕育之间的关系。结果表明，研究区内地壳介质呈现强烈的、复杂的横向非均匀性。上地壳上部区域，沿龙门山断裂带、安宁河断裂带北段介质非均匀性程度相对较强，非均匀体尺度相对较小；鲜水河断裂带炉霍-道孚段、安宁河断裂带南段介质非均匀性程度相对较弱，非均匀体尺度相对较大。上地壳下部区域，沿龙门山断裂带、安宁河断裂带北段、鲜水河断裂带炉霍-道孚段、莲峰断裂沿线地壳介质非均匀性程度相对较强，沿鲜水河断裂带道孚-康定地区介质非均匀性相对较弱。中地壳，汶川-都江堰段、宝兴-康定段以及康定-石棉段介质非均匀性程度相对较强，而炉霍-康定西北地区，莲峰断裂沿线介质非均匀性程度相对较弱。对比发现中强震孕育、发生与介质非均匀性具有较强的相关性，中强震震中分布在介质非均匀性强弱过渡带上。强烈的、复杂的介质非均匀性可能与区内复杂的地质构造运动、频繁的地震活动所引起深部物质破碎、熔融及其沿断裂带的上涌、运移有关。
