Exact solution to surface displacement associated with sources distributed on an inclined plane

Abstract

Usually an exact solution to the surface displacement in an elastic half space is available for sources parallel to the surface.
Here we consider a buried elliptic source distributed over an inclined plane. Circular and Point sources have been considered as
particular cases of an elliptic source. Cagniard method has been used. We present some graphical plots of the surface displacement for various inclination of the fault plane.
