DEFORMATION OF A POROELASTIC HALF-SPACE DUE TO COMPENSATED LINEAR VECTOR DIPOLE

The closed-form analytical expressions for the displacements and strains due to Compensated Linear Vector Dipole (CLVD) located in a homogeneous, isotropic poroelastic half-space are obtained. The variation of radial displacement and strains with depth & variation of radial displacement and strains with epicentral distance for the various materials Ruhr Sandstone, Tennessee Marble, Charcoal Granite, Berea Sandstone and Westerly Granite are discussed.
