Physics based translational ground motion synthetics and quantification of fling and rupture directivity induced ground strains and rotations: a comparative parametric study
摘要
The paper presents viscoelastic finite-difference pseudo-dynamic broadband synthetization of translational near-fault ground motion and quantification of peak-values and variability of fling and rupture directivity induced ground strains and rotations due to change of slip-pattern, nucleation-position and rupture-velocity in the case of Mw6 strike-slip earthquake. Fling and rupture directivity have caused pulse-type motions in the FP- and FN-components over the extent of rupture length and beyond it, respectively. The obtained values of shear strain
