Interferometry - Displacement Modeling - CFF Stress Transfer

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Purpose

 

This panels is used to calculate the stress transfer between sources adopting the Coulomb Failure Function.

An example involving this panel can be found in the tutorial.

 

Technical Note

 

This panel allows to calculate the stress variation induced into a source, called “receiver”, by the dislocation or opening of one or more input sources. Input and receiver source(s) can be a whatever combination of Elastic dislocation and Point pressure sources. The calculation is based on the Coulomb Failure Function [Harris, 1998] and it can be done with the simple friction coefficient (Classical Formulation), or with the additional Skempton's coefficient (Undrained Formulation), varying from 0, dry soil, to 1, fully saturated soil, according to:

ΔCFF = Δτ+μ ·(Δσ - β·T/3)

where Δτ is the shear stress variation, μ is the friction coefficient, Δσ is the normal stress change, β is the Skempton's coefficient and T is the stress tensor trace.

 

Input and receiver sources are retrieved and stored in the XML Project File.

 

The INPUT Sources folder allows to create, recover and setup the sources used as input for the stress calculation. Two sources are available: Elastic dislocationsource, used to model the surface displacement induced by a dislocation over a source in an elastic and homogeneous half-space [Okada, 1985]; Point pressure used to model the surface displacement induced by an expanding or compressing point-source [Mogi, 1958]. Use "EDIT SOURCES – Edit parameters..." button to set the source parameter.

 

The Receiver Sources folder allows to create, recover and setup the sources on which the stress change is calculated.

 

The CFF Options folder allows to set the algorithm to use for the calculation: classic formulation or undreained formulation, possibility of masking mathematical singularities and allow the output of the whole tensor.

 

Note: in this panel the use of the XML Project File is mandatory.
