Abstract: Waveforms recorded at local and global seismic networks were adapted to inverse focal mechanism and depth of two moderate earthquakes (May 24, 2014 MS5.6 and May 30, 2014 MS6.1) in Yingjiang, China. The new developed Cut-And-Paste method uses two dataset separately and simultaneously. Both two earthquakes are right lateral strike slip event. The fault plane of the MS5.6 event is 153°/90°/171°while the MS6.1 event is 172°/72°/180. These fault planes are consistent with local stress field. The focal depth results are much shallower than results with global average model. With the distribution of aftershock and other previous results, the Sudian fault, which is a north-south fault, is the possible seismogenic fault.

Key words: Focal mechanism, Focal depth, Joint inversion, May 24, 2014 MS5.6 and May 30, 2014 MS6.1 Yingjiang earthquakes
