Influence of near-fault effects and of incident angle of earthquake waves on the seismic inelastic demands of a typical Jack-Up platform [PDF]
, 2013 In this paper, the potential influence of near-fault effects and of the incident angle of earthquake waves to the seismic response of a typical jack-up offshore platform is assessed by means of incremental dynamic analysis involving a three dimensional ...

Modelling the Autocovariance of the Power Spectrum of a Solar-Type Oscillator [PDF]
, 2010 Asteroseismology is able to conduct studies on the interiors of solar-type stars from the analysis of stellar acoustic spectra. However, such an analysis process often has to rely upon subjective choices made throughout.

Effective Width of Floor Systems for Application in Seismic Analysis [PDF]
, 1980 Effective width coefficients for floor systems have been developed for use in the analysis of frames subjected to lateral seismic loads. The results cover a wide range of the governing nondimensional parameters, and are applicable to floor slabs with ...

Auditory display of seismic data: On the use of experts' categorizations and verbal descriptions as heuristics for geoscience [PDF]
, 2017 International audienceAuditory display can complement visual representations in order to better interpret scientific data. A previous article showed that the free categorization of “audified seismic signals” operated by listeners can be explained by ...

Cross-comparative analysis of evacuation behavior after earthquakes using mobile phone data
, 2018 Despite the importance of predicting evacuation mobility dynamics after large scale disasters for effective first response and disaster relief, our general understanding of evacuation behavior remains limited because of the lack of empirical evidence on ...

Icequakes coupled with surface displacements for predicting glacier break-off
, 2010 A hanging glacier at the east face of Weisshorn (Switzerland) broke off in 2005. We were able to monitor and measure surface motion and icequake activity for 25 days up to three days prior to the break-off.
