Computation of Earthquake Response via Fourier Amplitude Spectra

Authors

Abstract:

A theoretical relation is presented between the seismological Fourier amplitude spectrumand the mean squared value of the elastic response, which is defined by Gaussian distribution. Byshifting a general process to its mean value, spectrum of the mean squared value of the displacementis computed from the Fourier amplitude spectrum and the real part of the relative displacementtransfer function of the single-degree-of-freedom elastic oscillator. It is shown that the relationpresented in this work opens the door for a better understanding of the relationship between timeinvariantmean squared value of linear response of a single degree freedom system and seismologicalvariables, such as magnitude, focal distance, and path and soil conditions. For illustrating theproposed theoretical relation, the mean squared values of a drift have been calculated for earthquakeground motions with different magnitude, focal distance and soil.

Fast wave computation via Fourier integral operators

This paper presents a numerical method for “time upscaling” wave equations, i.e., performing time steps not limited by the Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy (CFL) condition. The proposed method leverages recent work on fast algorithms for pseudodifferential and Fourier integral operators (FIO). This algorithmic approach is not asymptotic: it is shown how to construct an exact FIO propagator by 1) solving...

focal mechanism determination of zarand dahyiue earthquake by amplitude spectra and polarity

using amplitude spectra and polarity (aspo) is a way for determining focal mechanisms of earthquakes. in the paper, the method has been used to determine the focal mechanism of zarand dahuiye earthquake dated 22 february 2005. the method uses frequency-wave number approach for calculating green functions and inverts full waveforms (from p arrival time up to the end of surface waves). at first s...

Fast Computation of Voigt Functions via Fourier Transforms

This work presents a method of computing Voigt functions and their derivatives, to high accuracy, on a uniform grid. It is based on an adaptation of Fourier-transform based convolution. The relative error of the result decreases as the fourth power of the computational effort. Because of its use of highly vectorizable operations for its core, it can be implemented very efficiently in scripting ...

Theoretical Description of the Fourier Transform of the Absolute Amplitude Spectra and Its Applications

Speaking in a very broad sense, the Fourier transform (FT) can be treated as a systematic way to decompose arbitrary function into a superposition of harmonic (“symmetrical”) functions. It is a fundamental tool for studying of various processes and for this reason it is present in basically every scientific discipline. In last decades, the Fourier transformation was used in distinctive fields s...
