... of earthquakes. Its counterpart for seismic ground motion is the Ishimoto–Iida law (II law; Ishimoto and Iida, 1939 ), which describes the frequency distribution of the maximum amplitude of seismograms or seismic intensity. The II law, similar to the GR law, is purely empirical. The II law for intensity has...

...Mamoru Kato Abstract Frequency distribution of the maximum amplitude of seismograms at a station exhibits a power‐law relation, which is the Ishimoto–Iida law (II law). We investigate whether the II law is applicable to modern strong‐motion seismograms. Distribution of maximum amplitudes records...

...Michele Caputo abstract A mechanical model is presented to explain the Ishimoto Iida empirical law for earthquake statistics log n ( M ) = α ¯ - b M where n(M) dM is the number of earthquakes in the interval of magnitude M, M + dM . The model fits properly the statistics of earthquakes of all...

.... The slope is the same for Tonga-Fiji for all depth ranges. In this paper, the frequency of occurrence of earthquakes in relation to their size is investigated for different individual tectonic units. The magnitude versus frequency relation was first investigated by Ishimoto and Iida (1939) and later...

... that can be traced back to Ishimoto and Iida's empirical power law formula in 1939 describing the frequency of maximum amplitudes of observed seismic waves. The G-R relationship is unambiguously defined by a simple formula, but some ambiguities about the G-R relation exist as well. For example, possible...

Ishimoto and Iida (1939) recognized that the statistical distribution of sizes for a group of earthqukes has a power‐law distribution when plotted in a logarithmic scale, and the distribution is linear.
