R Documentation

Class "fracture" Set of Fault and Fractures

Description

This class contains the definition of a set of deterministic faults and random fractures, used to fill a 2-D space, subdivided into rectangular layers. The fractures belong to several families (defined as faults, joints, veins, ...): they will be called fractures in this document.

This model is a 2-D prototype which will be expanded to 3-D in the future.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("fracture", ...).

Slots

xmax:

Object of class "numeric" Horizontal extension of the field

ymax:

Object of class "numeric" Vertical extension of the field

deltax:

Object of class "numeric" Horizontal dilation of the field

deltay:

Object of class "numeric" Vertical dilation of the field (negative ordinate only)

mean:

Object of class "numeric" Mean of the Thickness distribution. In addition, this parameter sets the minimum for the thickness of a layer (mean / 10)

stdev:

Object of class "numeric" Standard deviation of the Thickness distribution

fams:

Object of class "list" List of definitions of ffam-class

faults:

Object of class "list" List of definitions of ffault-class

Methods

\$

fracture$parameter is used to query the value of parameter from fracture:

• nfamilies : Number of families in the fracture-class

• nfaults : Number of ffault-class in the fracture-class

• xmax : Field extension along the horizontal direction

• ymax : Field extension along the vertical direction (calculated as the sum of the layer thicknesses
