A Double Layer Surface Traction Free Green's Tensor

نویسنده

  • Darko Volkov
چکیده

A double layer Green’s tensor for linear elasticity in half space is computed. Traction free conditions on the surface are imposed making this Green’s tensor relevant in geophysics for modeling displacements caused by slips on faults. Past attempts at computing related Green’s tensors are discussed. Applications to computing displacement fields by integration over fault regions or by use of asymptotic estimates are presented.

A new Fast Multipole formulation for the elastodynamic half-space Green's tensor

In this article, a version of the frequency-domain elastodynamic Fast Multipole-Boundary Element Method (FM-BEM) for semi-infinite media, based on the half-space Green’s tensor (and hence avoiding any discretization of the planar traction-free surface), is presented. The half-space Green’s tensor is often used (in non-multipole form until now) for computing elastic wave propagation in the conte...

9 Free-Surface Vanishing Traction Effects on Shallow Sources

Waveform inversion to determine the seismic moment tensor is a standard approach in determining the source mechanism of natural and man-made seismicity. The moment tensor is a general representation that includes the double-couple (DC) and non-double-couple sources such as explosions, opening and closing cracks, and volume compensated linear vector dipoles (CLVD). Previous studies (Ford et al.,...

Reflection of Plane Wave at Traction-Free Surface of a Pre-Stressed Functionally Graded Piezoelectric Material (FGPM) Half-Space

This paper is devoted to study a problem of plane waves reflection at a traction-free surface of a pre-stressed functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM). The effects of initial stress and material gradient on the reflection of plane waves are studied in this paper. Secular equation has been derived analytically for the pre-stressed FGPM half-space and used to show the existence of two ...

Transient Green’s Tensor for a Layered Solid Half-Space With Different Interface Conditions

Pulsed ultrasonic techniques can be and have been used to examine the interface conditions of a bonded structure. To provide a theoretical basis for such testing techniques we model the structure as a layer on top of a half-space, both of different elastic properties, with various interface bonding conditions. The exact dynamic Green's tensor for such a structure is explicitly derived from the ...
