What is MOR-SM?

MOR-SM is moment-rate oriented slip model (kinematic approach), for seismic wave propagation simulation software - SW4 ¹. The code contains a collection of a few command-line tools for manipulating slip function, time function and source time function, using source physical properties.

General code steps:

1. Defining the segment's dimensions (width, length and slip) by Goda et al. (2016) ² equations for the desired magnitude.
2. Fitting location parameters for the slip and time functions based on the desired diractivity.
3. Computing the sliding time (Tr) from stage I and stage II for velocity I and velocity II respectively.
4. The features above are distributed by the time and slip function on each pixel on the segment.
5. Generating Source Time Function (STF) for the earthquake you have just set.
6. Compare your earthquake model to world-wide :earth_africa: inversions, SCARDEC database (Valle et al. 2011) ³.
7. Save your file as SW4 input.

Installation

 pip install MORSM

or

 git clone https://github.com/ABlaer/MOR-SM.git

in the command line:

1. navigate to Vall2021 directory and extracte SCARDEC:

      $  tar -xf  sourcefunction_archive_all.tar
   

2. move the database up one directory:

     $  mv ALL_MOY_and_OPTI_2021_MAJ_till_31122020/* .
