Response of an Elastic Half Space to an Arbitrary 3-D Vector Body ForceSmith and Sandwell, JGR 2003

• Develop the three differential equations relating 3-D vector displacement to a 3-D vector body force.

• Take the 3-D Fourier transform to reduce the partial differential equation to a set of linear algebraic equations.

• Solve the linear system using the symbolic capabilities in Matlab.

• Perform the inverse fourier transform in the z-direction (depth) by repeated application of the Cauchy Residue Theorem.

• Check the analytic solution using the symbolic capabilities in Matlab.

• Solve the Boussinesq Problem to correct the non-zero normal traction on the half-space.

• Construct screw dislocation and test with analytic line-source solution.

• Integrate the point-source Green's function to simulate a vertical fault and check with the analytic fault-plane solution.

• Develop an equivalent body force for a general fault model.

• Modify the solution to account for surface topography.

• Modify the solution to have a layered half-space??

• Modify the solution to have a visco-elastic rheology??

Objective: calculate the displacement vector u(x, y, z) on the surface of the Earth due to a vector body force at depth
