    GroundMotionModel

    public class Geomatrix_1993
    extends Object
    implements GroundMotionModel
    Implementation of the subduction interface ground motion model by Geomatrix consultants (1993) to support the 2007 Alaska NSHM. In the fortran codes used at the time, this GMM is noted as a 'Youngs and Coppersmith variation'. Although similar to Youngs et al. (1997), that GMM has quite a few add ons for site terms not supported or required by the 2007 Alaska NSHM such that it is simpler to have a standalone implementation.

    Note: Direct instantiation of GroundMotionModels is prohibited. Use Gmm.instance(Imt) to retrieve an instance for a desired Imt.

      • calc

        public final LogicTree<GroundMotion> calc​(GmmInput in)
        Description copied from interface: GroundMotionModel
        Computes a logic tree of scalar ground motions and standard deviations for the supplied arguments. This method is implemented by GMMs to provide the horizontal peak ground acceleration and (optionally) velocity (PGA, PGV) as well as 5% damped pseudo-spectral acceleration for periods between 0.01 s and 10 s. For most modern GMMs, ground motions are computed as the average horizontal component (RotD50) but many older GMMs use some other average horizontal measure (e.g. GMRotI50).
