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 = {}

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.

Parameters

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)

• rake – Angle describing rupture propagation direction in decimal degrees.

Raises

ValueError – If check_fault_data() fails, if rake value is invalid and if rupture mesh spacing is too high for the lowest magnitude value.

count_ruptures()

See :meth: openquake.hazardlib.source.base.BaseSeismicSource.count_ruptures.

get_fault_surface_area()

Computes the area covered by the surface of the fault.

Returns

A float defining the area of the surface of the fault [km^2]

iter_ruptures(**kwargs)

See :meth: openquake.hazardlib.source.base.BaseSeismicSource.iter_ruptures.

Generates a ruptures using the “floating” algorithm: for all the magnitude values of assigned MFD calculates the rupture size with respect to MSR and aspect ratio and then places ruptures of that size on the surface of the whole fault source. The occurrence rate of each of those ruptures is the magnitude occurrence rate divided by the number of ruptures that can be placed in a fault.

modify_adjust_dip(increment)

Modifies the dip by an incremental value

Parameters

increment (float) – Value by which to increase or decrease the dip (the resulting dip must still be within 0.0 to 90.0 degrees)

modify_set_dip(dip)

Modifies the dip to the specified value

Parameters

dip (float) – New value of dip (must still be within 0.0 to 90.0 degrees)

modify_set_geometry(fault_trace, upper_seismogenic_depth, lower_seismogenic_depth, dip, spacing)

Modifies the current source geometry including trace, seismogenic depths and dip

modify_set_lower_seismogenic_depth(lsd)

Modifies the lower seismogenic depth

Parameters

lsd (float) – New value of the lsd [km]

property polygon

The underlying polygon `

wkt()

Returns

the geometry as a WKT string
