Data and Code for "On the Coupled Geometrical–Mechanical Origin of the Earthquake b-Value in Fault Networks"

This archive contains the data and MATLAB post-processing scripts associated with the manuscript “On the Coupled Geometrical–Mechanical Origin of the Earthquake b-Value in Fault Networks”. The archive provides processed numerical simulation outputs and analysis scripts used to reproduce the main results and supporting figures reported in the manuscript. The datasets include fault network geometry, rupture catalogs, stress data, stress–energy rupture metrics, and summary data for b-value and rupture scaling analyses. The MATLAB scripts are provided for reproducing cumulative frequency–magnitude distributions, rupture-area and slip-scaling relationships, stress–energy phase diagrams, spatial rupture distributions, Coulomb failure stress maps, and selected supporting information figures. The folder data/ contains the processed datasets in Excel format, including fault geometry, rupture statistics, stress fields, and stress–energy metrics. The folder data/data_for_supporting_information/ contains additional data used for the Supporting Information. The folder code/ contains MATLAB scripts for post-processing, statistical analysis, and figure reproduction. The subfolder code/code_for_statistical_test/ contains the scripts used for the statistical tests on the relationship between transition magnitude and characteristic fault area.
