gov.usgs.earthquake.nshmp.gmm.AtkinsonBoore_2006p

All Implemented Interfaces:

GroundMotionModel

public final class AtkinsonBoore_2006p
extends Object
implements GroundMotionModel

Modified form of the relationship for the Central and Eastern US by Atkinson & Boore (2006). This implementation matches that used in the 2014 USGS NSHMP, incorporates a new, magnitude-dependent stress parameter, and uses table lookups instead of functional forms to compute ground motions. This relation is commonly referred to as AB06 Prime (AB06').

Note: Direct instantiation of GroundMotionModels is prohibited. Use Gmm.instance(Imt) to retrieve an instance for a desired Imt.

Implementation note: Mean values are clamped per GmmUtils.ceusMeanClip(Imt, double).
