Passive control of structures for seismic loads
The control of structures to improve their performance during earthquakes was first proposed more than a century ago. But it has only been in the last 25 years that structures have been successfully designed and built using earthquake protective systems. Today these systems range from simple passive devices to fully active systems.

Multiphase Tectonic Process With Slab Dynamics in the Northern East China Sea Shelf Basin
Megasequence 1 characterised by Palaeocene extension and differential subsidence driven by the rollback of the subducting Izanagi Plate. Megasequence 2 records a kinematic reorganisation of the East Asian margin, transition from a rifting to a compressional regime.

New progress on the onshore-offshore seismic survey in East China Continental Margin
The East China Continental Margin (ECCM) is an exemplified natural laboratory not only for studying the origin and evolution of trench-arc-basin system, but also for investigating the deformation mechanism within continent and its margins.

This paper presents correlations derived by linear regression analysis of seismic velocities VP and VS and elastic moduli EP and ES with temperature in Los Humeros superhot (SHGS) and Acoculco enhanced (EGS) geothermal systems at depths down to 3 km ...

Integrated design of hybrid interstory-interbuilding multi-actuation schemes for vibration control of adjacent buildings under seismic excitations [PDF]
The design of vibration control systems for the seismic protection of closely adjacent buildings is a complex and challenging problem. In this paper, we consider distributed multi-actuation schemes that combine interbuilding linking elements and ...

Seismic reflectors and unconformities at passive continental margins
Vail and co-workers1–3 have recently suggested, based on seismic reflection data available to Exxon, that more than 25 global unconformities occur in Mesozoic–Tertiary age passive continental margins around the world. These data have been used to subdivide the stratigraphical record into several cycles, each of which is controlled by oscillatory ...

A Passive Low‐Frequency, High‐Sensitivity Diamagnetic Levitation Accelerometer
ABSTRACT Despite the great potential of diamagnetic levitation accelerometers in detecting low‐frequency and weak motion, there is still a demand to further enhance their sensitivity for geophysical and microgravity applications. In this study, a straightforward structural modulating approach is presented to enhance the sensitivity of diamagnetic ...

ABSTRACT We propose a practical procedure to quantify the time varying influence of parameters on hazard functions for power series compounded lifetime models. The procedure combines likelihood based fitting with a two stage sensitivity analysis and applies to a range of baselines and compounding laws.

Review of progress in seismic exploration in metallic deposits
With the exhaustion of near-surface metal mineral resources, exploration in the second space (500~2 000 m) is an inevitable trend in the future. The conventional gravity, magnetic and electrical signals are severely attenuated with depth and cannot meet ...

Passive seismic interferometry by multidimensional deconvolution
Abstract We introduce seismic interferometry of passive data by multidimensional deconvolution (MDD) as an alternative to the crosscorrelation method. Interferometry by MDD has the potential to correct for the effects of source irregularity, assuming the first arrival can be separated from the full response. MDD applications can range
