Theory and Calculation for Displacements and Stresses at an Earthquake Source
Abstract
The progress report describes the near-field motions of an earthquake source model which is governed by simple physical constraints in terms of dynamic friction on a fault plane. It also describes a computer program which will calculate the displacements radiated (into the near, intermediate, and far field) by any of a wide variety of earthquake fault motions. Several applications of the program are described.
