Foil 7 Basic Computational Structure - I

From Master Set of Foils for GEM Computational Science Presentation GEM WorkShop Santa Fe -- 24-25 October 97. by Geoffrey C. Fox
Green's Functions Relate Stress and Deformation to Integrals over slip deficit f(x,t) = slip(x,t)-V*t
After discretization, Green's function integrals become sums with
  • deformationi and stressi = Sj Green(i,j,t) fj(t)
with indices i and j running over fault segments
The friction law then determines if there is an "earthquake" which is a correlated change in the slip deficit
