Documentation for The Problem, Versions 31 and 32

 

The following PDF file describes The Problem, versions 31 and 32.

Problem description for TPV31 and TPV32 - Planar Vertical Fault in a 1D Velocity Structure.

 

These benchmarks explore a single planar vertical strike-slip fault in a 1D velocity structure, as shown in the following table.

Benchmark Dimension Rupture Type Material Properties Velocity Structure Minimum VS
TPV31 3D Right-lateral, vertical strike-slip. Linear elastic. Discontinuous 1D. 2250 m/s.
TPV32 3D Right-lateral, vertical strike-slip. Linear elastic. Continuous 1D. 1050 m/s.
