Özet

We performed a benchmark test for the strong motion simulation methods using numerical methods (finite difference method and finite element method). All the results calculated by six teams from different institutions generally show good agreement to each other. We found minor differences are generated by the choice of property on the grid just at the boundary of layers. The performance of absorbing zone makes differences in terms of artificial reflection waves from the model boundary.
