Seismic sources and ruptures

area

Module openquake.hazardlib.source.area defines AreaSource.

class openquake.hazardlib.source.area.AreaSource(source_id, name, tectonic_region_type, mfd, rupture_mesh_spacing, magnitude_scaling_relationship, rupture_aspect_ratio, temporal_occurrence_model, upper_seismogenic_depth, lower_seismogenic_depth, nodal_plane_distribution, hypocenter_distribution, polygon, area_discretization)

Bases: openquake.hazardlib.source.base.ParametricSeismicSource

Area source represents uniform seismicity occurring over a geographical region.

Parameters:

• polygon – An instance of openquake.hazardlib.geo.polygon.Polygon that defines source’s area.
• area_discretization – Float number, polygon area discretization spacing in kilometers. See openquake.hazardlib.source.area.AreaSource.iter_ruptures().

Other parameters (except location) are the same as for PointSource.

MODIFICATIONS = set()

code = b'A'

count_ruptures()

See openquake.hazardlib.source.base.BaseSeismicSource.count_ruptures() for description of parameters and return value.

iter_ruptures(**kwargs)

See :meth: openquake.hazardlib.source.base.BaseSeismicSource.iter_ruptures for description of parameters and return value.

Area sources are treated as a collection of point sources (see openquake.hazardlib.source.point) with uniform parameters. Ruptures of area source are just a union of ruptures of those point sources. The actual positions of the implied point sources form a uniformly spaced mesh on the polygon. Polygon’s method :meth: ~openquake.hazardlib.geo.polygon.Polygon.discretize is used for creating a mesh of points on the source’s area. Constructor’s parameter area_discretization is used as polygon’s discretization spacing (not to be confused with rupture surface’s mesh spacing which is as well provided to the constructor).

The ruptures’ occurrence rates are rescaled with respect to number of points the polygon discretizes to.

Bases: openquake.hazardlib.source.base.BaseSeismicSource

Parameters:

• mfd – Magnitude-Frequency distribution for the source. See openquake.hazardlib.mfd.

Bases: openquake.hazardlib.source.base.ParametricSeismicSource

Characteristic source typology represents seismicity occuring on a generic fault surface with seismic events rupturing the entire fault surface independently of their magnitude values.

Characteristic source typology can be used to model individual faults or fault segments that tend to produce essentialy same size earthquakes (see for instance: Schwartz, D. P., K. J. Coppersmith, Fault behavior and characteristic earthquakes: Examples from the Wasatch and San Andreas fault zones, J. Geophys. Res., 89, 5681-5698, 1984)

Parameters:

• surface – Fault surface, see openquake.hazardlib.geo.surface.
• rake – Angle describing rupture propagation direction in decimal degrees.

See also openquake.hazardlib.source.base.ParametricSeismicSource for description of other parameters.

Note that a CharacteristicFaultSource does not need any mesh spacing, magnitude scaling relationship, and aspect ratio, therefore the constructor sets these parameters to None.

NB: if you want to convert a characteristic source into XML, you must set its attribute surface_node to an explicit representation of the surface as a LiteralNode object.

Each line represents a hypocentral position defined in terms of the relative distance along strike and dip (from the upper, left corner of the fault surface i.e. the corner which results from the projection at depth of the first vertex of the fault trace) and the corresponding weight. Example 1: one single hypocentral position at the center of the rupture will be described by the following array[(0.5, 0.5, 1.0)]. Example 2: two possible hypocenters are admitted for a rupture. One hypocentre is located along the strike at 1/4 of the fault length and at 1/4 of the fault width along the dip and occurs with a weight of 0.3, the other one is at 3/4 of fault length along strike and at 3/4 of fault width along strike with a weight of 0.7.

Each line represents a rupture slip direction and the corresponding weight. Example 1: one single rupture slip direction with angle 90 degree will be described by the following array[(90, 1.0)]. Example 2: two possible rupture slip directions are admitted for a rupture. One slip direction is at 90 degree with a weight of 0.7, the other one is at 135 degree with a weight of 0.3. The numpy array would be entered as numpy.array( [[90, 0.7], [135, 0.3]]).
