DynamicElasticity

Full name:

pylith.scales.DynamicElasticity

Journal name:

dynamicelasticity

Convenience object for nondimensionalizing dynamic elasticity problems.

Implements General.

Pyre Properties

• displacement_scale=<dimensional>: Nominal displacement scale in boundary value problem.

  • default value: 1*m

  • current value: 1*m, from {default}

  • validator: (greater than 0*m)

• length_scale=<dimensional>: Length scale in boundary value problem (size of feature controlling displacement, fault).

  • default value: 100000*m

  • current value: 100000*m, from {default}

  • validator: (greater than 0*m)

• shear_modulus=<dimensional>: Nominal shear modulus in boundary value problem.

  • default value: 1e+10m**-1kg*s**-2

  • current value: 1e+10m**-1kg*s**-2, from {default}

  • validator: (greater than 0m**-1kg*s**-2)

• shear_wave_speed=<dimensional>: Nominal shear wave speed in boundary value problem.

  • default value: 3000ms**-1

  • current value: 3000ms**-1, from {default}

  • validator: (greater than 0*s)
