Title: FEMSA: A finite element simulation tool for quasi-static seismic deformation
Issue Date: 11-Dec-2006
Keywords: faulting sources
coseismic deformation
finite element method
Subject Classification05. General::05.01. Computational geophysics::05.01.05. Algorithms and implementation 
Abstract: Modeling postseismic deformation is an increasingly valuable tool in earthquake seismology. In particular, the Finite Element (FE) numerical method allows accurate modeling of complex faulting geometry, inhomogeneous materials and realistic viscous flow, appearing an excellent tool to investigate a lot of specific phenomena related with earthquakes.
