Double Couple


Double Couple : Natural Disaster. A force system consisting of two opposing (or orthogonal) couples with the same scalar moment and opposite direction (or sign). Its equivalence to a dynamic fault slip was first shown by Maruyama (1963) for an isotropic elastic medium. The force system equivalent to fault slip for an anisotropic medium was obtained by Burridge and Knopoff (1964). See: Aki and Richards (2002 or 2009, p. 42-48)
