Interseismic model #10

Open ranneylxr opened 3 years ago

ranneylxr commented 3 years ago

Inversion model:

  1. TDEFNODE from McCaffrey. using rectangle dislocations; needs pole information of blocks; fortran code can not be modified. => Difficulty for extracting the forward modelling part (!)
  2. BLOCKS from Meade, B.J. and J.P. Loveless using triangular dislocations => user must define the triangular patches as input (now: no software found!) matlab code
  3. PCAIM from Andrew Kositsky seems no part about forward modelling.

Others: 1.TDE from Meade, B.J. using triangular dislocation to calculate deformation in a uniform elastic half space. But users must define the triangular dislocation by themselves;

Triangular generator:

  1. mesh2d from Darren Engwirda the output is delaunay mesh grid.
  2. FaultSampler from Barnhart do triangular patches dividing during the distributed slip inversion, which is a problem. But he used mesh2d to get the initial delaunay mesh grid.

Now the question is:

  1. Extracting forward simulation part from those Inversion models
  2. Knowing how to use triangular dislocation to describe the fault surface.
