The 1980, 1997 and 1998 Azores earthquakes and its seismotectonic implications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
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

Determination of the structure of the earth's crust by changing the velocity of seismic waves from the earthquake data

open access: yesВестник Дагестанского государственного технического университета: Технические науки, 2021
Objective. A study of the structure of the earth's crust by determining the velocities of seismic waves from previously broken sections of the earth's crust.Methods. Two mathematical methods are proposed for determining the seismic wave velocities.

Finite-frequency sensitivity of body waves to anisotropy based upon adjoint methods [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
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

open access: yesNatural Hazards Research, 2021
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]

open access: yes, 2004
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

Separation of Body and Surface Wave Background Noise and Passive Seismic Interferometry Based on Synchrosqueezed Continuous Wavelet Transform

open access: yesApplied Sciences
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

DEFORMATION WAVES AS A TRIGGER MECHANISM OF SEISMIC ACTIVITY IN SEISMIC ZONES OF THE CONTINENTAL LITHOSPHERE

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2015
Deformation waves as a trigger mechanism of seismic activity and migration of earthquake foci have been under discussion by researchers in seismology and geodynamics for over 50 years.

A physical model for seismic noise generation from sediment transport in rivers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
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

open access: yesBuildings
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
