ディスロケーションソフトウエア「Coulomb」の紹介

抄録

The software“Coulomb”is designed to let one calculate static displacements, strains, and stresses caused by fault slip, point sources of inflation/deflation, and dike expansion/contraction under an isotropic elastic half-space. The principal feature of the program is ease of input, rapid interactive modification, and intuitive visualization of the results. The program largely implements GUI (Graphical User Interface) environment such as menus, submenus, check-items, and dialogue boxes to ease operation. The internal graphics are suitable for publication, and these can be easily imported into illustration and visualization programs for higher-quality figures. We hope this program extensively supports researches for active faulting.
