Modelling tools

GFZ provides computer programs to calculate:

$\bullet$

Displacement, strain and stress in a homogeneous (in-)elastic half-space due to point sources and extended sources of double-couple type, of explosion and crack opening type.

$\bullet$

Surface and subsurface displacement, strain and stress due to a point source of variable type in a layered half-space, including one inelastic layer.

$\bullet$

The superposition of stress fields from fault segments with offset and/or different strike direction.

$\bullet$

Displacement and stress due to loads of various shapes on a spherical shell. With the experience and tools given, the goals set above are achieved.
