A damage model incorporating dynamic plastic yield surface
In this paper, a general elastoplastic-damage constitutive model considering the effect of strain rate has been developed. The derivation of this model has been cast into the irreversible thermodynamics with internal variables within the fundamentals of Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM). The rate effect has been involved as an additional term into the plastic yield surface (dynamic plastic yield...
متن کاملA Strong Ground Motion Catalogue of Selected Records for Shallow Crustal, Near Field Earthquakes in Iran
Understanding strong ground motions in the near-fault areas is important for seismic risk assessment in densely populated areas. In the past, lack of information on strong ground motion for large and moderate earthquakes led to the use of mainly far field large and moderate earthquake records in equations for calculation of the strong ground motion parameters. In this article, we collected and ...
متن کاملVelocity contrast along the Calaveras fault from analysis of fault zone head waves generated by repeating earthquakes
[1] We systematically investigate the velocity contrast along the Calaveras fault that ruptured during the 1984 Morgan Hill earthquake using fault zone head waves (FZHW) that refract along the fault interface. We stack waveforms in 353 sets of repeating clusters, and align the peaks or troughs of the direct P waves assuming rightlateral strike-slip focal mechanisms. The obtained velocity contra...
متن کاملInvestigate probability of damage of Earth dam under Near-field and Far –field earthquake : Case study Gotvand earth dam
The main goal of preset research is investigate the effects of vertical component of Near-Fault and Far-Field earthquake records on the probability of overtopping induced damage of earth dam due to the reduction of freeboard due to the settlement of dam crest. In this respect 12 different earthquake record are selected. Nonlinear dynamic analysis of earth dam is implemented with FLAC 3D using F...
متن کاملA Re-examination of Historic Earthquakes in the San Jacinto Fault Zone, California
The high level of seismic activity and the potential for large earthquakes in the San Jacinto fault zone, southern California, make it desirable to have accurate locations and source parameters for as many previous events as possible. Prior to the installation of a dense seismic network in this region, earthquakes were located using only a few stations with generally poor azimuthal coverage res...
