description |
This benchmark problem computes the viscoelastic (Maxwell) relaxation of stresses from repeated infinite, strike-slip earthquakes in 3D without gravity. An analytical solution to this problem is described by Savage and Prescott (1978), which provides a simple way to check our numerical solution. A python utility code is provided in the utils directory to compute the analytical solution. |
