A model for complex aftershock sequences

Failure Time Remapping in Compound Aftershock Sequences

Compound aftershock sequences are of special interest because the decay of secondary aftershocks contains information about the mechanisms that generate all earthquakes. If earthquakes nucleate as a result of accelerating slip, growing cracks, or any similar failure process, then the rate of decay of aftershock sequences is a direct result of that failure process, as influenced by local materia...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Empirical Assessment of Non-Linear Seismic Demand of Mainshock–Aftershock Ground-Motion Sequences for Japanese Earthquakes

This study investigates the effects of earthquake types, magnitudes, and hysteretic behavior on the peak and residual ductility demands of inelastic single-degree-of-freedom systems and evaluates the effects of major aftershocks on the non-linear structural responses. An extensive dataset of real mainshock–aftershock sequences for Japanese earthquakes is developed. The constructed dataset is la...
