Short-Term Tectonics Benchmarks
June 17, 2010
Overview
Benchmarks
- Strike-slip (no gravity)
- Reverse-slip (no gravity)
- Reverse-slip (with gravity)
- Savage and Prescott Simulation
Proposed Benchmarks
SAVAGE AND PRESCOTT VARIATIONS
- Slip through entire elastic layer
- Drucker-Prager in crust
- Different rheologies in “mantle” (generalized Maxwell, power-law)
GRAVITY BENCHMARK WITH PRESTRESSES AND FINITE STRAIN
- Cube with a solid sphere of same density
- Cube with a solid sphere of different density (quasi-static)
REPEATED SUBDUCTION EARTHQUAKES WITH GRAVITY AND FINITE STRAIN (THATCHER AND RUNDLE, 1982 SOLUTION)
- Maybe compare to Bardot and Fialko (2010) solution?
- Two-dimensional?
- Maxwell viscoelastic
- Additional rheologies for both crust (e.g., elastoplastic) and mantle (power-law, generalized Maxwell)
Utilities
- Analytic and Semi-Analytic Codes
- CUBIT examples
