متن کاملProperties of GPS noise at Japan islands before and after Tohoku mega-earthquake
The field of 3-components GPS signals is analyzed for the network of 1203 stations at the Japanese islands from January 30 up to March 26, 2011. This time interval includes just over 40 days of observation before the Tohoku mega-earthquake on March 11, 2011 (M = 9.0) and nearly 16 days of observation following this event. The signals from each station are three-component time series with time s...
متن کاملControl Characteristics of Mega-sub Controlled Structure System with Friction Damper under Rare Earthquake
In this paper, the seismic responses control characteristics of Mega-structure, Mega-sub Controlled Structure System (MSCSS) without dampers and MSCSS inserted friction dampers are investigated respectively under rare earthquake by using the elastic-plastic time history analysis method. The distribution of plastic hinges and different control efficiency of these structures under rare earthquake...
