Rupture Dynamics of Macromolecules

2013
In a series of studies we consider the breakage of a polymer chain of segments, coupled by anharmonic bonds under applied tensional force or subject to rise in temperature. The chain dynamics at the onset of fracture is studied by means of Molecular Dynamics simulation and also using analytic considerations.A deeper insight into the changes in polymer ...

Dynamic Rupture Simulations of the 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan Earthquake by the Curved Grid Finite‐Difference Method

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2019
Enough investigations and observations have been undertaken to suggest that the great 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake of China ruptured in a highly complex pattern.

Dynamic Rupture Simulations of the 1920 Ms 8.5 Haiyuan Earthquake in China

Bulletin of The Seismological Society of America (BSSA), 2019
The Haiyuan fault is a major seismogenic fault on the northeastern edge of the Tibetan–Qinghai plateau. The 16 December 1920 Ms 8.5 Haiyuan, China, earthquake is the largest and most recent event along the eastern Haiyuan fault (the Haiyuan fault in ...

DYNAMICS OF A2 FINGER PULLEY RUPTURE

Journal of Mechanics in Medicine and Biology, 2007
A mathematical model of the A2 pulley system will enable us to have a better understanding of the mechanics of the pulley-tendon system and provide us with insights of the pulley rupture mechanism. The A2 pulley was modeled based on parallel pulley fibers attached to a phalanx with a tendon passing them.

Constraining Frictional Properties on Fault by Dynamic Rupture Simulations and Near‐Field Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2018
Frictional properties of seismogenic faults play critical roles in earthquake generation and rupture propagation. Although laboratory measurements have well revealed the frictional parameters of a variety of rock samples, those on seismogenic faults ...

Validation of Deterministic Broadband Ground Motion and Variability from Dynamic Rupture Simulations of Buried Thrust Earthquakes

Bulletin of The Seismological Society of America (BSSA), 2018
We numerically model broadband ground motion (up to 5–7:5 Hz) from blind-thrust scenario earthquakes matching the fault geometry of the 1994 Mw 6.7 Northridge earthquake. Several realizations are modeled (by varying the hypocenter location in the dynamic

Rupture dynamics of shock-tube diaphragm

2017 First International Conference on Recent Advances in Aerospace Engineering (ICRAAE), 2017
Diaphragm rupture process in a shock tube was studied through transient simulations. With the help of ANSYS Explicit Dynamics, the rupture process occurring in a shock-tube was simulated. Diaphragms of several thicknesses and scores were analysed. It was possible to predict the pressure difference at which rupture would take place which would help in ...

Dynamic stress changes during earthquake rupture

Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 1998
AbstractWe assess two competing dynamic interpretations that have been proposed for the short slip durations characteristic of kinematic earthquake models derived by inversion of earthquake waveform and geodetic data. The first interpretation would require a fault constitutive relationship in which rapid dynamic restrengthening of the fault surface ...

Support Operator Rupture Dynamics on GPU

2012 International Conference on Computer Science and Information Processing (CSIP), 2012
The method of Support Operator (SOM) is a numerical method to simulate seismic wave propagation by solving the three dimension viscoelastic equations. Its implementation, the Support Operator Rupture Dynamics (SORD) has been proved to be highly scalable in large-scale multi-processors calculations.
