Radiation pattern for SH waves

Description

calculate the radiation patterns for SH waves

Usage

radSH(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 SH amplitude

Value

Amplitude of the SH 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 = radSH(del, phiS, lam, dip, p)

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