Abstract Expressions for quasi-static surface stresses resulting from a finite, rectangular, vertical, strike-slip fault in a Maxwellian viscoelastic half-space are derived. Variation of the stresses with time and epicentral distance is studied. Contour maps are obtained in some representative cases. It is found that all nonvanishing stress components at the free surface die exponentially with time. This is in contrast to the behavior of the displacements and strains which, in general, do not vanish for large times.

Approach Method

The paper discusses the problem of a two-dimensional static deformation as the result of normal line-load acting inside an irregular initially stressed isotropic half-space. The eigenvalue approach method has been used. The irregularity is expressed by a rectangle shape. Further, the results for the displacements and stresses have been derived in the closed form. The effect of initial stress and irregularity are shown graphically. It was found that the initial stresses as well as irregularity have a notable effect on this deformation.
