Multiple Inverse Method
Software Package
Tectonic Study Group
Kyoto University
The latest MIM software package, which has been released since November
4, 2011, includes the computational grid that utilizes the spherical code
of Yamaji and Sato (in press).
Explanation- This software package impliments the multiple inverse method (ver. 6).
The method is designed to separate stresses from heterogeneous fault-slip
data and from heterogeneous focal mechanism data by means of the combination
of a resampling technique and stress tensor inversion. The method was originally
proposed by Yamaji (2000), and have been evolved by Sato and Yamaji (2006a,
b), Otsubo and Yamaji (2006), Yamaji and Sato (2006), and Otsubo et al.
(2008).
