In this paper, we analyse how the combination of fault zone shape and material properties affects the propagation of seismic waves in a two-dimensional domain. We focus on SH wave propagation through several faults with different thicknesses and bending radii, but the theory is easily generalized to the three-dimensional case. We show how the density of energy released is mostly a function of the radius and does not depend on the velocity inside a fault zone.

Abstract
In this paper, we analyse how the combination of fault zone shape and material properties affects the propagation of seismic waves in a two-dimensional domain. We focus on SH wave propagation through several faults with different thicknesses and bending radii, but the theory is easily generalized to the three-dimensional case. We show how the density of energy released is mostly a function of the radius and does not depend on the velocity inside a fault zone.File in questo prodotto:
