The boundary integral equation method(BIEM)is now widely used in numerical studies on earthquake rupture dynamics,and is proved to be a powerful tool to deal with problems on complex fault system.However,since this method heavily lies on the specific forms of Green’s function and only the Green’s function in full-space has a closed analytic expression,it is usually limited to a full-space medium.In this study,as a first step to extend this method to an arbitrary complex fault system in half-space,the boundary integral equations(BIEs)for dynamic strike-slip on vertical complex fault system in half-space are derived based on exact Green’s function for isotropic and homogeneous half-space.Effect of the geometry of the complex fault system are dealt with carefully.Final BIEs is composed of two parts:contribution from full-space,which has been thoroughly investigated by Aochi and his co-workers by using the Green’s function for full-space,and that from free surface,which is studied in detail in this study.
The boundary integral equation method (BIEM) is now widely used on numerical studies on earthquake rupture dynamics, and is proved to be a powerful tool to deal with problems on complex fault system. Host, since this method heavily lies on the specific forms of Green’s function and only the Green’s function in full-space has a closed analytic expression, it is usually limited to a full-space medium. In this study, as a first step to extend this method to an arbitrary complex fault system in half-space, the boundary integral equations (BIEs) for dynamic strike-slip on vertical complex fault system in half-space are derived based on exact green’s function for isotropic and homogeneous half-space. Effect of the geometry of the complex fault system are dealt with carefully. Final BIEs is composed of two parts: contribution from full-space, which has been thoroughly investigated by Aochi and his co-workers by using the Green’s function for full-space, and that from free surface, which is studied in detai l in this study.
