Shear Stresses and Displacement for Strike-slip Dislocation in an Orthotropic Elastic Half-space with Rigid Surface

Poonam Arya

Closed-form analytical expressions for shear stresses and displacement at any point as a result of strike-slip dislocation embedded in a homogeneous, orthotropic, perfectly elastic half-space with rigid surface are obtained. For different values of an anisotropic parameter, the variation of the displacement and shear stresses due to vertical strike-slip dislocation with distance from the fault at different depth level are studied numerically.
