Woodland will provide methods to construct the Displacement Discontinuity Method (DDM) elastostatic operator for curved faults. This operator can then be used in quasidynamic rate-state friction earthquake simulators.

Woodland is a work in progress and is not yet ready for general use. Currently, low-level calculations are implemented in the directory woodland/acorn for the self-interaction Hadamard finite part and the other-interaction proper integral for convex polygons on curved fractures with general dislocations, where the fault shape and the dislocation must be smooth within a polygon.

In the future, the directory woodland/squirrel will contain a DDM discretization based on these tools.

Finally, the directory woodland/oak will contain a simple quasidynamic rate-state friction simulator to demonstrate the use of the operator.

Build and run unit test

At the command line, run the following commands, where ~/tmp/woodland_install is an example of the location to install the library files.

cmake PATH_TO_WOODLAND_DIRECTORY \
      -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo \
      -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/tmp/woodland_install;
make -j4 install
OMP_NUM_THREADS=4 ctest -VV

The tests will purposely fail if they do not have access to Y. Okada's dc3d.f code. See extern/README.md for instructions to obtain and patch this file. Once it is available and patched, the above commands will detect the file, and the tests should pass.
