radSV: Radiation pattern for SV waves

In RFOC: Graphics for Spherical Distributions and Earthquake Focal Mechanisms

Radiation pattern for SV waves

Description

calculate the radiation patterns for SV waves

Usage

radSV(del, phiS, lam, ichi, phi)

Arguments

del	degrees, angle
phiS	degrees,angle
lam	degrees, angle
ichi	degrees, take off angle
phi	degrees, take off azimuth

Details

Given a focal mechanism strike-dip-rake and a given incident angle (take-off angle) and azimuth, return the SV amplitude

Value

Amplitude of the SV wave

Examples

phiS=65
del=25
lam=13
x = seq(-1, 1, 0.01)
y = x

X = matrix(rep(x, length(y)), nrow= length(x))
Y = t(X)
RAD2DEG = 180/pi
p = RAD2DEG*(pi/2 -atan2(Y, X))
p[p<0] = p[p<0] + 360

R = sqrt(X^2+Y^2)
R[R>1] = NaN
dip =RAD2DEG*2*asin(R/sqrt(2))

###  Calculate the radiation pattern
G = radSV(del, phiS, lam, dip, p)

###  plot values
image(x,y,G, asp=1)
