Stress drops and radiated energies of aftershocks of the 1994 Northridge, California, earthquake [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2003 We study stress levels and radiated energy to infer the rupture characteristics and scaling relationships of aftershocks and other southern California earthquakes. We use empirical Green functions to obtain source time functions for 47 of the larger (M ≥ 4.0) aftershocks of the 1994 Northridge, California earthquake (M6.7).

Toy model of accumulation and radiation of strain energy driven by big data of earthquakes
Journal of Physics Communications, 2021 AbstractWe propose the pointwise toy-model, which demonstrates the accumulation and radiation of the (seismic) strain-energy. The calculated absorbed-seismic-energy is mapped to the accumulated strain-energy to balance the radiated strain-energy, because the accumulation of the strain-energy is caused by the subduction of one plate below another plate ...

Post-earthquake assessment of moderately damaged reinforced concrete plastic hinges
, 2020 Modern reinforced concrete buildings are often designed to dissipate energy during strong earthquakes by permitting the controlled formation of plastic hinges. Plastic hinges require assessment of residual capacity in post-earthquake situations. However,

The role of radiation damping in the modeling of repeated earthquake events
Annals of Geophysics, 2013 We have investigated the role of the radiation damping term (RDT) on repeated earthquake ruptures by modeling the faulting process through a single one-dimensional analog fault system governed by different constitutive laws.

Earthquake magnitude estimation from early radiated energy
Geophysical Research Letters, 2008 From inspection of a large set of Japanese events, we investigate the scaling of the early radiated energy, inferred from the squared velocity integral (IV2) with the final magnitude of the event. We found that the energy can only discriminate whether the event has a magnitude larger or smaller than 5.8, and in the latter case it can allow for real ...
