Abstract: This study is devoted to a systematic analysis of the stress state of the eastern boundary area of Sichuan-Yunnan block based on focal mechanisms of 319 earthquakes with magnitudes between M3.0 and M6.9, occurring from January 2009 to May 2018. We firstly determined the mechanism solutions of 234 earthquakes by the CAP method, using the broadband waveforms recorded by Chinese regional permanent networks, and collected 85 centroid moment tensor solutions from the GCMT. Then we investigated the regional stress regime through a damp linear inversion. Our results show that:1)the focal mechanisms of moderate earthquakes are regionally specific with three principal types of focal mechanisms:the strike-slip faulting type, the thrust faulting type and the normal faulting type. The strike-slip faulting type is significant in the eastern boundary area of Sichuan-Yunnan block along the Xianshuihe-Xiaojiang Fault, the Daliangshan Fault, and the Zhaotong-Lianfeng Fault. The thrust faulting type and the combined thrust/strike-slip faulting type are significant along the Mabian-Yanjin Fault, Ebian-Yanfeng Fault and the eastern section of Lianfeng Fault; 2)The most robust feature of the regional stress regime is that, the azimuth of principal compressive stress axis rotates clockwise from NWW to NW along the eastern boundary of Sichuan-Yunnan Block, and the clockwise rotation angle is about 50 degrees. Meanwhile, the angels between the principal compressive axis and the trend of eastern boundary of Sichuan-Yunnan Block remain unchanged, which implies a stable coefficient of fault friction in the eastern boundary fault zone of Sichuan-Yunnan Block. The movement of the upper crust in the southeastern Tibetan plateau is a relatively rigid clockwise rotation. On the whole, the Xianshuihe-Xiaojiang Fault is a small arc on the earth, and its Euler pole axis is at(21°N, 88°E). The Daliangshan Fault is surrounded by the Anninghe-Zemuhe Fault, which formed a closed diamond shape. When the Sichuan-Yunnan block rotates clockwise, the Daliangshan Fault locates in the outer of the arc, while the Anninghe-Zemuhe Fault is in the inward of the arc, and from the mechanical point of view, left-lateral sliding movement is more likely to occur on the Daliangshan Fault. Our results can be the evidence for the study on the "cut-off" function of the Daliangshan Fault based on the stress field background; 3)The regional stress regime of the eastern boundary faults zone of the Sichuan-Yunnan Block is the same as the south section of the Dalianshan Fault, and the focal mechanism results also reveal that the Dalianshan Fault is keeping left-lateral strike-slip. There may be the same tectonic stress field that controls the earthquake activities in the southern section of Daliangshan Fault and Zhaotong-Lianfeng Fault. The regional stress regime of Zhaodong-Lianfeng Fault is also the same with the Sichuan-Yunnan Block, which implies that the control effect of the SE movement of the Sichuan-Yunnan block may extend to Weining.

摘要: 川滇菱形块体东边界及邻区的构造应力场空间变化特征对理解青藏高原东南缘的强震机理、孕震环境、构造变形及地震应力的相互作用具有重要意义。文中利用2009年1月—2018年5月的地震波形资料,采用CAP反演方法求得川滇菱形块体东边界及邻区234个地震的震源机制解,并收集了该区域85个全球矩心矩张量解。在此基础上,采用阻尼区域应力反演方法,获得川滇地块东边界及邻区的构造应力场空间分布。通过分析川滇地块东边界及邻区震源机制解的空间分布特征及构造应力场空间分布特征,得到以下几点认识:1)川滇地块东边界及邻区的震源机制解类型具有明显的分区性,川滇地块东边界鲜水河-小江断裂、大凉山断裂、昭通-莲峰断裂带西南段上的地震断层类型为左旋走滑型,马边-盐津断裂、峨边-烟峰断裂及昭通-莲峰断裂带的东段为逆冲和逆冲兼走滑型;2)沿川滇块体东边界的鲜水河-小江断裂带由北向南,主压应力水平方向由NWW向逐渐转为NW向,顺时针旋转约50°,主压应力轴与东边界断裂走向之间的夹角基本保持不变,这可能与川滇块体东边界断裂带的断层摩擦系数较为稳定有关;3)大凉山断裂中南段、昭通-莲峰断裂带西南段的地震可能受到相同的构造应力场控制,川滇块体的SE向运动通过大凉山断裂、则木河断裂部分传递到昭通-莲峰断裂的西南段,这种物质SE向移动对地震活动的控制作用有可能延续到威宁。
