DLC Examples

Here are some examples, from simple to more complex:

Example 1: - Normal Fault

Model containing a single dislocation representing a normal fault. Displacement field is sample at a point and on horizontal and vertical observation grids. Illustrates use of makemodel, elfpoint, elfgrid, modellines, displines, gclrx, pi2ps.

Example 2: - Northridge Earthquake

Model of the Northridge earthquake, based on early hypocentral and focal mechanism information from Berkeley. Delta_CFF is calculated on optimal failure planes at 10km depth and for E-W striking reverse faults at 10km depth. Illustrates makemodel, elfgrid, stroop, strop, modellines, bblines, gclrx.

Example 3: - Landers Earthquake

Explores the stress effect of the Landers earthquake on a simple model of the San Andreas fault. Uses lnprj, lnsegment, segs2dlc, elfpatch, xss.

Example 4: - Utah Faults

Simple model of faults in Utah, showing effect of hypothetical earthquake on Wasatch fault on nearby faults. (Made with the help of Walt Arabasz and Wu-Lung Chang.) Shows use of lnconvert, lnprj, lnsegment, segs2dlc, elfpatch, xss.
