A geometric setting for moment tensors
نویسندگان
چکیده
S U M M A R Y We describe a parametrization of moment tensors that is suitable for use in algorithms for moment tensor inversion. The parameters are conceptually natural and can be easily visualized. The ingredients of the parametrization are present in the literature; we have consolidated them into a concise statement in a geometric setting. We treat several familiar moment tensor topics in the same geometric setting as well. These topics include moment tensor decompositions, crack-plus-double-couple moment tensors, and the parameter that measures the difference between a deviatoric moment tensor and a double couple. The geometric approach clarifies concepts that are sometimes obscured by calculations.

A geometric comparison of source-type plots for moment tensors
S U M M A R Y We describe a general geometric framework for thinking about source-type plots for moment tensors. We consider two fundamental examples, one where the source-type plot is on the unit sphere, and one where it is on the unit cube. The plot on the sphere is preferable to the plot on the cube: it is simpler, it embodies a more natural assumption about eigenvalue probabilities and it i...
متن کاملIdentification of elastic inclusions and elastic moment tensors by boundary measurements
We consider the problem of identifying unknown inclusions inside an elastic body by means of traction–displacement relations measured on the boundary. Based on the asymptotic formula of Ammari et al (2003 J. Elast. at press), we propose an algorithm to reconstruct unknown inclusions. The algorithm of this paper detects the location and the elastic moment tensors (elastic Pólya–Szegö tensors) of...
متن کاملBeyond CCA: Moment Matching for Multi-View Models
We introduce three novel semi-parametric extensions of probabilistic canonical correlation analysis with identifiability guarantees. We consider moment matching techniques for estimation in these models. For that, by drawing explicit links between the new models and a discrete version of independent component analysis (DICA), we first extend the DICA cumulant tensors to the new discrete version...
متن کاملInteractive visualization of scattered moment tensor data
Moment tensors derived from seismic measurements during earthquakes are related to stress tensors and keep important information about surface displacement in the earth’s mantle. We present methods facilitating an interactive visualization of scattered moment data to support earthquake and displacement analysis. For this goal, we combine and link visualizations of spatial location and orientati...
متن کاملOperator-valued tensors on manifolds
In this paper we try to extend geometric concepts in the context of operator valued tensors. To this end, we aim to replace the field of scalars $ mathbb{R} $ by self-adjoint elements of a commutative $ C^star $-algebra, and reach an appropriate generalization of geometrical concepts on manifolds. First, we put forward the concept of operator-valued tensors and extend semi-Riemannian...
