We present a discontinuous Galerkin finite-element method (DG-FEM) formulation with Convolutional Perfectly Matched Layer (CPML) absorbing boundary condition for 3-D elastic seismic wave modelling. This makes use of unstructured tetrahedral meshes locally refined according to the medium properties (h-adaptivity), and approximation orders that can change from one element another an adequate criterion (p-adaptivity). These two features allow us significantly reduce computational cost...

Modelling dynamic rupture for complex geometrical fault structures is performed through a finite volume method. After transformations building up the partial differential system following explicit conservative law, we design an unstructured bi-dimensional time-domain numerical formulation of crack problem. As result, arbitrary non-planar faults can be explicitly represented without extra computational cost. On these surfaces, boundary conditions are set on stress fluxes and not values....
We are interested in the simulation of P-SV seismic wave propagation by a high-order Discontinuous Galerkin method based on centered fluxes at interfaces combined with leap-frog time-integration. This non-diffusive method, previously developed for Maxwell equations [4, 9, 20], is particularly well adapted to complex topographies and fault discontinuities medium. prove that scheme stable under CFL type condition discrete energy preserved an infinite domain. Convergence properties efficiency...
Dynamic rupture of a 3-D spontaneous crack arbitrary shape is investigated using finite volume (FV) approach. The full domain decomposed in tetrahedra whereas the surface, on which takes place, discretized with triangles that are faces tetrahedra. First all, elastodynamic equations described into pseudo-conservative form for an easy application FV discretization. Explicit boundary conditions given criteria based conservation discrete energy through surface. Using stress-threshold criterion,...
In this paper, we introduce a high-order discontinuous Galerkin method, based on centered fluxes and family of leap-frog time schemes, for the solution 3D elastodynamic equations written in velocity-stress formulation. We prove that explicit scheme is stable under CFL type condition obtained from discrete energy which preserved domains with free surface or decreasing absorbing boundary conditions. Moreover, study convergence method both semi-discrete fully illustrate results by propagation...
We present a discontinuous Galerkin method for site effects assessment. The P–SV seismic wave propagation is studied in 2-D space heterogeneous media. first-order velocity–stress system obtained by assuming that the medium linear, isotropic and viscoelastic, thus considering intrinsic attenuation. associated stress–strain relation time domain being convolution, which numerically intractable, we consider rheology of generalized Maxwell body replacing convolution set differential equations....
SUMMARY The numerical simulation of seismic wave propagation in realistic heterogeneous media, as sedimentary basins, is a key element hazard estimation. Many methods two dimensions are based on unstructured triangular meshes and explicit time schemes. However, the presence thin layers tangential stratigraphic contacts basins entails poorly shaped mesh elements: some triangle heights extremely small compared to edge lengths, which requires steps simulations thus leads prohibitive computation...
We propose a nodal high-order discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method for coupled wave propagation in heterogeneous elastoplastic soil columns. solve the elastodynamic system written velocity-strain formulation considering simultaneously three components of motion. A 3D Iwan model dry soils under dynamic loading is introduced DG (DG-3C) based on centered fluxes and low storage Runge–Kutta time scheme. Unlike linear case, nonlinear material behavior results coupling effects between different focus...
For seismic wave propagation, we propose a complete reanalysis of the finite-volume approach based on unstructured triangular meshes. Triangular control volumes are particularly well adapted to propagation elastic waves in heterogeneous media. We consider non-staggered pseudo-conservative formulation as time variation is controlled by fluxes edges element and implement 2D geometry both source excitation absorbing boundary conditions PML zones. Simple illustrations show that this method could...

New formulations have been recently proposed for modelling dynamic shear crack using various methods. We propose a complete new reformulation based finite volume approach and we apply it canonical configurarions in order assess accuracy method propose.
