time-history analysis is defined as a kind of dynamic analysis increasingly used in design of structures and evaluation of existing ones. one of the important issues in the time-history analysis is selecting earthquake records. in this case, seismic design provisions states that time histories shall have similar source mechanisms, geological and seismological features with region under study. a...

The main objective of this study is estimating acceleration time history of 16 September 1978 Tabas earthquake incorporating the seismological/geological source-path and site model parameters by using finite-fault simulation approach. The method generalizes the stochastic ground-motion simulation technique, developed for point sources, to the case of finite faults. It subdivides the fault plane...

contrary to the long period ground motions that can be predicted and estimated, high frequency ground motions have random character and behave stochastically. stochastic modeling methods are usually used for the modeling of high frequency ground motions where there are not strong ground motion records. stochastic methods are of two kinds: in the first one, the seismic source is considered as a ...

In this paper, the finite-horizon H∞ fault estimation problem is investigated for a class of uncertain nonlinear time-varying systems subject to multiple stochastic delays. The randomly occurring uncertainties (ROUs) enter into the system due to the random fluctuations of network conditions. The measured output is quantized by a logarithmic quantizer before being transmitted to the fault estima...

on 11th of august 2012 the region was surprisingly struck by a shallow mw 6.4 (usgs) earthquake with pure right-lateral strike-slip character only about 50 km north of the north-tabriz fault. an east-west striking surface rupture of about 20 km length was observed in the field by geological survey of iran. only 11 minutes later and about 6 km further nw a second shallow event with mw 6.2 occurr...
