The 1980, 1997 and 1998 Azores earthquakes and its seismotectonic implications [PDF]
We have studied the focal mechanisms of the 1980, 1997 and 1998 earthquakes in the Azores region from body-wave inversion of digital GDSN (Global Digital Seismograph Network) and broadband data. For the 1980 and 1998 shocks, we have obtained strike– slip

Finite-frequency sensitivity of body waves to anisotropy based upon adjoint methods [PDF]
We investigate the sensitivity of finite-frequency body-wave observables to mantle anisotropy based upon kernels calculated by combining adjoint methods and spectral-element modelling of seismic wave propagation.

Novel method to pick P waves based on a grey rational analysis
For monitoring the earthquake ground motion, it is essential to rapidly and accurately detecting P waves' arrival in the seismic signal. To detect the seismic events and pick phases' arrival, some traditional methods are based on the statistical theory ...

The direct boundary element method: 2D site effects assessment on laterally varying layered media (methodology) [PDF]
The Direct Boundary Element Method (DBEM) is presented to solve the elastodynamic field equations in 2D, and a complete comprehensive implementation is given. The DBEM is a useful approach to obtain reliable numerical estimates of site effects on seismic

Passive seismic interferometry is a technique that reconstructs virtual seismic records using ambient noise, such as random noise or microseisms. The ambient noise in passive seismic data contains rich information, with surface waves being useful for the

A physical model for seismic noise generation from sediment transport in rivers [PDF]
Measuring sediment flux in rivers remains a significant problem in studies of landscape evolution. Recent studies suggest that observations of seismic noise near rivers can help provide such measurements, but the lack of models linking observed seismic ...

Novel Frame-Type Seismic Surface Wave Barrier with Ultra-Low-Frequency Bandgaps for Rayleigh Waves
Seismic surface waves carry significant energy that poses a major threat to structures and may trigger damage to buildings. To address this issue, the implementation of periodic barriers around structures has proven effective in attenuating seismic waves
