  23. . surface D(t) fault Rupture velocity (vr) Tr = rise time t tr t EXTENDED SOURCE FAULT PARAMETERS: Slip Velocity L • Rupture velocity is few km/s. By default, seismologist uses 3 km/s • The maximum duration d of the rupture is : • The slip amplitude on the fault scales with the length. • Slip velocity is around 1 m/s

  24. Examples of multi-window STF’s: Examples of single-window STF’s: time CAVEAT: Using Appropriate Source Time Functions SOURCE TIME FUNCTIONS: The slip velocity history on each point on the fault is determined by the shape of the a priori assumed source time function.

  25. Kinematic relations: Finite duration Fast initial acceleration Asymmetric shape Large peak value N.B. This parameterization allow us to constrain the time of positive slip acceleration, i.e. time of Vpeak
