In tensor mathematics, it represents the values of the matrix in a principal coordinate system.
elastic dislocation theory
Earth science; Seismology
In seismology, a theoretical description of how an elastic Earth responds to fault slip, as represented by a distribution of displacement discontinuities.
filter
Earth science; Seismology
In seismology, a physical system or a mathematical operation that changes the waveform or amplitude of a signal.
