摘要
Complete displacement potentials due to kinematic fault models with a bidirectional-bilateral and a fan-shaped rupture-propagations are derived in the Weyl integral representation. Dunkin's formulation of propagator-matrix method is used to compute the seismic responses of a flat-layered medium. Surface displacements are evaluated with the exact wavenumber discretization technique. Fast computation of synthetic near-field seismograms is made with a time-reducing device. A vertically traveling plane S-wave element (VTSE), which relates to contribution of a fault segment just below an observed station to wavenumber responses, in the Weyl integral representation is also participated in the computation. The synthetic near-field seismograms computed show that the contribution of VTSE to wavenumber responses is larger for a lower frequency range or a smaller epicentral distance. This is explained qualitatively by the saddle point approximation of the steepest descent method. Some numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the advantage of our method.
