Name of program: Coulomb 1.0

Type of program (eg quake model, mesh generator, strain calculator, visualizer, etc): 3D elastic dislocation & 2D boundary element stress and strain

Author: Shinji Toda (ERI, Japan)

Program's heritage (ie name and author of predecessor code if any): Coulomb 1.0 was principally written by Shinji Toda (ERI, Japan, it is an evolution of GEN 1.0 by Geof King (IPG, Paris).

Coulomb is a fast, menu-driven Mac program rich in graphics. It performs 3D elastic dislocation and a limited number of 2D boundary element calculations of deformation and stress in an elastic halfspace. It can input fault slip and focal mechanism files, and can output displacements, optimally-oriented Coulomb stress changes and resolved stress changes at any depth on any surface in a Cartesian x,y,z coordinate system.
