where '(x-x s ) = { (x-x s ) - (x-x s ) }/dx and dx = 2 > 0 is small. Kanwal
(1983) discusses in detail the “unit dipole” '(x); Hudson (1980) discusses
“three-dimensional dipoles” and their use in earthquake seismology. Next, we
simplify the result so that
( l u/ t + u )/ t - (T u/ x - l gx + F(t) (x-x s ) dx)/ x = 0 (1.106)
Now introduce a new dependent variable (x,t) defined by the transformations
/ x =
u/ t + u
(1.107)
l
and
/ t = T u/ x - l gx + F(t)
(x-x s ) dx
(1.108)
If we differentiate these with respect to x and t, respectively, we have
2 / x 2 = l 2 u/ t x + u/ x (1.109)
2 / t 2 = T 2 u/ x t + F '(t) (x-x s ) dx (1.110)
noting that the body force term disappears. Next, multiply the first equation by
T and the second equation by l , to obtain
T
2 / x 2 = T l
2 u/ t x + T
u/ x
(1.111)
2 / t 2 = T l
2 u/ x t + l F ' ( t)
(x-x s ) dx
(1.112)
l
Subtraction leads to
2 / t 2 - T 2 / x 2 =
l F ' ( t)
(x-x s ) dx - T
u/ x
(1.113)
l
From the definition
/ t = T u/ x - l gx + F(t)
(x-x s ) dx in Equation
1.108, we have
- T
u/ x = - l gx + F( t)
(x-x s ) dx -
/ t
(1.114)
which can be used to eliminate the - T
u/ x term in Equation 1.113. Thus, the
governing equation satisfied by (x,t) is
2 / t 2 - T 2 / x 2
=
l
l F ' ( t)
(x-x s ) dx - l gx + F( t)
(x-x s ) dx -
/ t
(1.115)
or
2 / t 2 + / t - T 2 / x 2
= - l gx + l F ' ( t)
l
(x-x s ) dx + F( t)
(x-x s ) dx
= - l gx + {
l F ' ( t) + F( t) } dx
(x-x s )
(1.116)
Drawing upon the arguments leading to Equation 1.103, the force-like quantity
{ l F ' ( t) + F(t)} dx must be responsible for a discontinuity [ / x] in the first
spatial derivative of . In particular, using Equation 1.103, we have
