✦ Synopsis

Numerical experiments on simulating ruptures of a one-dimensional plate boundary suggest that certain basic features of seismicity (including multiple ruptures and aflershock sequences) can be adequately reproduced if one assumes the existence of an elementary particle (or 'geon') of fault dynamics. Some general consequences of corpuscular assumptions in the earth sciences are discussed, with particular reference to the estimation of hazard.

## Abstract We show the existence of a unique analytic single parameter limiting survival function arising from the repeated composition of a coherent structure as the number of components tends to infinity. Examples include the repeated composition process of the bridge structure. Β© 2003 Wiley Per
