hybridMT/fociMT package
Two pages dedicated to fociMT/hybridMT moment tensor inversion and refinement library are published on my website: https://www.induced.pl/hybridmt
Page dedicated to RPGEN routine
I added a page dedicated to rpgen.m routine. RPGEN.m calculates P-wave, S-wave, SH-wave and SV-wave radiation pattern using shear-tensile source model. Original, it is a part of my paper “Assessment of P and S wave energy radiated from very small shear-tensile seismic events in a deep South African mine” published in Journal of Geophysical Research.
Radiation pattern of shear-tensile faults on Matlab File Exchange
While writing a paper to Journal of Geophysical Research on S-to-P radiated energy ratio from shear-tensile events I created a number of MATLAB functions related to the methodology presented inside. One of the routines, rpgen.m, I just uploaded to MATLAB file exchange. This function calculates P, S, SH and SV radiation pattern from shear-tensile fault at certain takeoff angle and azimuth of observation. The fault itself is parameterized by strike, dip, rake, tensile angle and Poisson’s ratio.
JGR Paper: Assessment of S/P radiated energy ratio from shear-tensile picoearthquakes
Together with Yehuda Ben-Zion we published a paper in Journal of Geophysical Research. The paper is entitled “Assessment of P and S wave energy radiated from very small shear-tensile seismic events in a deep South African mine“. The publication is my come-back to the JAGUARS project that we worked on between 2007 and 2011 and analyzed nano- and picoseismicity recorded in Mponeng deep gold mine in South Africa.
In the study we discuss requirements for reliable estimates of radiated seismic energy in S and P phases and derive ratios of S-to-P radiated energy of over 500 extremely small seismic events with local magnitudes −5.23 ≤ ML ≤ −2.41 (subdecimeter size) recorded by high-frequency acoustic emission (AE) sensors of the JAGUARS seismic network in the Mponeng deep gold mine, South Africa. Please see the article page for details.
