A modified specific barrier model based on new time functions and approach for cracks location on the fault plane: application to the 2008 Iwate–Miyagi earthquake
Abstract:Summary
Specific Barrier Method (SBM) is a method used for ground motion generation from a finite fault surface. It is based on a regular distribution of rupturing circular subevents located on the fault plane and random arrival times of the waves generated by those cracks. This approach does not consider the whole rupture kinematics, i.e. the rupture propagation from the hypocenter to the subevents, and leaves parts of the fault unbroken (barriers). In this paper, we propose a modified version … Show more
