In this paper aftershocks are analysed in the framework of dislocation theory. It is postulated that stresses which are created in the medium after a main rupturing are of great and direct importance in the aftershock process. These stresses, acting on inhomogeneities of the medium, result in aftershock generation. Four models are presented to illustrate the stress pattern associated with a main shock fault. On the basis of these models some conclusions regarding aftershocks are drawn. There is a good agreement between theoretical and observational data.
