Figure 4. Geometric construction for initial stress s , which is found at the intersection of the G_k lines (dotted).
e₁ and e₂ are the strike-slip and dip-slip directions on the fault. t_k, f_k, and are the stress change vector, the friction vector, and the slip velocity unit vector at time step k. Arrow representing the s vector is omitted for clarity.
