the overview of the seismic wave velocities of a stiffness tensor, six pole figures; MATLAB’s stiffnessTensor/plotSeismicVelocities

Syntax

plotSeismicVelocities(C)

The overview, upper hemisphere.

plotSeismicVelocities(C, lower=True, symmetriseMinMax=True)

Lower, extrema with their equivalents.

plotSeismicVelocities(C, density=3.355)

With a density not stored on C.

Description

Six charts in two rows: Vp, the S-wave anisotropy 200 (Vs1 - Vs2) / (Vs1 + Vs2), Vs1 with the polarisation of the fast S-wave, Vs2 with that of the slow one, Vp/Vs1 and Vp/Vs2, each with its maximum as a black square and its minimum as a white circle, the anisotropy in percent under it, red slow to blue fast as seismology colours it. The velocities are in km/s for a stiffness in GPa and a density in g/cm^3.

Input

`C`	stiffnessTensor, with its density stored (C.density) or given

Keywords

keyword	default	description
`symmetriseMinMax`	`False`	mark every crystal direction equivalent to the extrema
`markerSize`	`10`	the size of the markers of the extrema
`lower`	`False`	the lower hemisphere instead of the upper
`colormap`	`'red2blue'`	the colour map of the charts
`density`	`None`	the density in g/cm^3; by default C.density

Output

fig the mtexFigure of the six charts
