QuasistaticElasticity

Full name:

pylith.scales.QuasistaticElasticity

Journal name:

quasistaticelasticity

Convenience object for nondimensionalizing quasi-static 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)

• time_scale=<dimensional>: Time scale of boundary value problem (for example, viscoelastic relaxation time).

  • default value: 3.15576e+09*s

  • current value: 3.15576e+09*s, from {default}

  • validator: (greater than 0*s)
