Located on the border of the Potiguar Basin, the Town of Cascavel is one of the most seismically active intraplate areas in the country. In this town, on November 20th, 1980 a 5,2mb earthquake occurred. This was the largest earthquake ever reported in Northeast Brazil. Studies of this region using instruments were possible after 1989, with several campaigns being done using seismographic networks. From the beginning of the monitoring to April 2008 more than 55,000 events were recorded. With the data collected by a network with six 3-components digital seismographic stations during the campaigns done from September 29th, 1997 to March 5th, 1998, estimates of source parameters were found fitting the displacement spectra in the frequency domain for each event. From the fitting of the displacement spectra it was possible to obtain the corner frequency ( ) c f and long period amplitude ( ) W0 . Source parameters were determined following Brune (1970) and Madariaga (1976) models. Twenty-one seismic events were analyzed (0.7 ? ? 2.1) b m in order to estimate the source dimension (r ), seismic moment ( ) M0 , static stress drop (Ds ), apparent stress ( ) a s , seismic energy ( ) S E and moment magnitude ( ) W M for each of the events. It was observed that the ratio between radiated seismic energy and moment seismic (apparent stress) increases with increasing moment and hence magnitude at the observed range. As suggested by Abercrombie (1995), also in this work there is a breakdown in the scaling for earthquakes with magnitudes smaller than three ( < 3.0) W M , so that the rupture physics is different for larger events. If this assumption is valid, the earthquakes analyzed in this work are not selfsimilar. Thus, larger events tend to radiated more energy per unit area than smaller ones. / Nesta disserta??o foi estudada a caracter?stica de ruptura dos sismos da cidade de Cascavel CE, Nordeste Brasileiro. Localizada na borda da Bacia Potiguar, a cidade de Cascavel ? uma das ?reas intraplaca mais sismicamente ativa do Brasil. Neste munic?pio, no dia 20 de novembro de 1980, ocorreu o maior sismo de que se tem not?cia no Nordeste, com magnitude igual 5,2mb . A partir de 1989, essa regi?o tem sido estudada instrumentalmente, sendo realizadas diversas campanhas com redes sismogr?ficas. Desde o in?cio do monitoramento at? abril de 2008, foram registrados mais de 55.000 eventos. Com os dados coletados por uma rede de seis esta??es digitais triaxiais em uma campanha realizada entre 29 de setembro de 1997 e 05 de mar?o de 1998, foi realizado um estudo para determinar os par?metros de fonte, ajustando-se os espectros de deslocamento de cada sismo no dom?nio da frequ?ncia. A partir dos ajustes dos espectros de deslocamento, foi poss?vel obter os valores da frequ?ncia de corte ( ) c f e da amplitude de longo per?odo ( ) W0 . Os par?metros foram determinados a partir dos modelos de fonte propostos por Brune (1970) e Madariaga (1976) para 21 sismos (0,7 ? ? 2,1) b m , obtendo-se as estimativas do raio da fonte (r ), momento s?smico ( ) M0 , stress drop est?tico (Ds ), stress aparente ( ) a s , energia s?smica irradiada ( ) S E e magnitude momento ( ) W M de cada evento. Foi observado que o stress drop e a raz?o entre a energia irradiada e o momento s?smico (stress aparente) aumentam com o incremento do momento e, consequentemente, com o valor da magnitude para a escala investigada. Assim como sugerido por Abercrombie (1995), neste trabalho tamb?m parece haver um quebra na rela??o de escala para sismos com magnitudes menores que tr?s ( < 3,0) W M , o que implica em um processo de ruptura diferente para terremotos grandes e pequenos. Caso esta hip?tese seja v?lida, os sismos analisados neste trabalho n?o s?o autosimilares. Assim, os eventos maiores tendem a irradiar mais energia por unidade de ?rea que os menores.
