Trade-off between seismic source detail and crustal heterogeneities in spherical 3D finite element modeling: a 2004 Sumatra earthquake case study

Trade-off between seismic source detail and crustal heterogeneities in spherical 3D finite element modeling: a 2004 Sumatra earthquake case study

Finite-element methods are a powerful numerical simulation tool for modeling seismic events, as they allow three-dimensional complex models to be solved. We used a three-dimensional finite-element approach to evaluate the co-seismic displacement field produced by the devastating 2004 Sumatra&amp...
