September 9, 2012 Locate three non-colinear GPS sites

September 9, 2012 E-W and N-S components of sites’ velocities

September 9, 2012 E-W + N-S components = total site velocity

September 9, 2012 Total site velocities

September 9, 2012 Define the triangle between the GPS sites

September 9, 2012 Define the centroid of the triangle

September 9, 2012
Transform coordinate system to a new origin at the centroid of the triangle

Inscribe a circle in the center of the undeformed triangle

The average of the three total site velocities is the translation vector
![Page 12: Unit 4 GPS infinitesimal strain analysis presentation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062503/588af9501a28abf8548b5bf9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

The triangle deforms as it moves. The vector from the centroid of the undeformed triangle to the centroid of the deformed triangle is
the same as the translation vector.

September 9, 2012
Subtracting the translation vector from the site velocities brings the two triangle centroids together.

The total site velocities minus the translation vector yields the site vectors associated with the change in shape of the triangle.

The red line is the major axis of the strain ellipse, and the blue line is the minor axis

September 9, 2012
The ellipse axes remain perpendicular to each other when the strain is reversed.

The rotational component of strain is indicated by the angular change in the orientation of the red lines.
