Modeling Strike-Slip Faults with Abaqus | Finite Element Earthquake Simulation

Описание: In this video, I demonstrate strike-slip fault modeling using Abaqus through a finite element method (FEM) framework to simulate tectonic deformation and fault mechanics associated with a boundary condition.

This tutorial walks through the numerical setup of a strike-slip fault, including geometry, boundary conditions, material properties (uni material here), and fault kinematics, providing insight into how elastic deformation and displacement fields evolve during fault motion. The approach is suitable for tectonic studies, earthquake mechanics, and crustal deformation modeling.

🔍 What you’ll learn in this video:

How to build a uni-material strike-slip fault model in Abaqus

Finite Element Method (FEM) concepts applied to fault mechanics

Defining boundary conditions

Simulating crustal deformation related to earthquakes

Interpreting displacement and stress patterns in strike-slip systems

This video is useful for:

Geophysics & Seismology students

GNSS and crustal deformation researchers

Earthquake and fault mechanics modeling

Abaqus users in geoscience applications

If you’re working on earthquake modeling, tectonic deformation, or FEM simulations in geophysics, this video provides a clear and practical example of strike-slip fault simulation.
