Earthquake hazard characterization by using entropy: application to northern Chilean earthquakes
<p>The mechanical description of the seismic cycle has an energetic analogy in terms of statistical physics and the second law of thermodynamics. In this context, an earthquake can be considered a phase transition, where continuous reorganization of stresses and forces reflects an evolution fr...
