Model Test on the Vibration Reduction Characteristics of a Composite Foundation with Gravel Cushion under Different Seismic Wave Amplitudes

open access: yesShock and Vibration, 2021
Gravel cushions have been introduced as a practical and efficient seismic isolation technology to ensure the safety of nuclear power plants. This study investigated the seismic isolation effect of a gravel cushion by conducting a series of shaking table ...

Research on the evolution law of the seismic wave field based on the explosive source parameters

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
We present a numerical model for blast-induced seismic waves. This model is based on the transformation mechanism of the seismic wave field, and the process of the seismic wave’s generation is divided into two stages. The first stage is the generation of

Extracting information from noise [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Seismic waves created by sources such as wind, the ocean and human activity propagate inside the Earth all the time. Such waves are often regarded as ‘noise’ by seismologists, however, they travel through the Earth in exactly the same way as those ...

Properties of Flares-Generated Seismic Waves on the Sun

open access: yes, 2005
The solar seismic waves excited by solar flares (``sunquakes'') are observed as circular expanding waves on the Sun's surface. The first sunquake was observed for a flare of July 9, 1996, from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) space mission ...

The physics of earthquakes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Earthquakes occur as a result of global plate motion. However, this simple picture is far from complete. Some plate boundaries glide past each other smoothly, while others are punctuated by catastrophic failures.

Seismic modeling using the frozen Gaussian approximation

open access: yes, 2013
We adopt the frozen Gaussian approximation (FGA) for modeling seismic waves. The method belongs to the category of ray-based beam methods. It decomposes seismic wavefield into a set of Gaussian functions and propagates these Gaussian functions along ...

Evaluation of Various Data Acquisition Scenarios for the Retrieval of Seismic Body Waves from Ambient Noise Seismic Interferometry Technique via Numerical Modeling

open access: yesGeosciences, 2022
Seismic interferometry is often proposed as a cost-efficient technique for reservoir monitoring including CO2 sequestration due to its low cost and environmental advantages over active source imaging.

On Seismic Waves (Third Paper) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1936
In two previous papers under the present title 1) 2) the authors have presented data on bodily waves. The present paper contains the corresponding data on surface waves (including seismic sea waves), the magnitude and energy of earthquakes, and ...

Towards the azimuthal characteristics of ionospheric and seismic effects of "Chelyabinsk" meteorite fall according to the data from coherent radar, GPS and seismic networks

open access: yes, 2015
We present the results of a study of the azimuthal characteristics of ionospheric and seismic effects of the meteorite 'Chelyabinsk', based on the data from the network of GPS receivers, coherent decameter radar EKB SuperDARN and network of seismic ...
