Present Parkfield Model Includes

• Simple boundary and initial conditions

• Rate and State Friction

• Quasi-dynamics (viscous damping)

  • Inertia, but not waves

• Single planar fault

  • Multiple and non-planar faults easy to add

• Linear elasticity in homogeneous half space

  • Analytical Green’s functions
  • Numerical Green’s functions (e.g. FEM)can be used, if have inhomogeneousproperties
