Based on waveform data from a profile of aftershocks following the north-south trace of the 28 June 1992 Landers rupture across the Mojave desert, we construct a new velocity model for the Mojave region that features a thin, slow crust. Using this model, we obtain source parameters, including depth and duration, for each of the aftershocks in the profile and, in addition, any significant (M > 3...

A detailed 3-D P-wave velocity structure of the crust in the epicentral area of the 17 January, 1994 Northridge earthquake is determined by using 104,709 arrival times from 1673 Northridge aftershocks and 2948 other local earthquakes. A test performed using the data from the nearby portable stations suggests that the aftershock hypocenters relocated with the obtained 3-D model are accurate to a...

a 5th order shear deformation theory considering transverse shear deformation effect as well as transverse normal strain deformation effect is presented for static flexure   analysis of simply supported isotropic plate. the assumed displacement field accounts for non-linear variation of in-plane displacements as well as transverse displacement through the plate thickness. the condition of zero ...

within the effective-field theory with correlations (eft), a transverse random field spin-1 ising model on the simple cubic (z=6) lattice is studied. the phase diagrams, the behavior of critical points, transverse magnetization,  internal energy, magnetic specific heat are obtained numerically and discussed for different values of p the concentration of the random transverse field.

3-dimensional (3D) flux machines accommodate many design and analysis challenges. Transverse (TFMs) are mostly useful for low speed, high torque applications but in this research a fault tolerant transverse alternator with segmented stator has been prototyped several important manufacturing challenges have thoroughly investigated as different scenarios. The proposed machine consists of axially ...

Contractional deformation is common along transform plate margins where motion oblique to the boundary. While faults that accommodate this are often inferred be subsidiary main boundary fault, we typically lack direct geometric or kinematic information. Here investigate timing of faulting relative changes in orientation North American-Pacific Coeval with development an segment (i.e., “Big Bend”...

Studies on the seismic response of skewed integral abutment bridges have mainly focused under far-field non-pulse-type ground motions, yet large amplitude and long-period velocity pulses in near-fault motions might significant impacts bridge response. In this study, nonlinear dynamic an (SIAB) pulse far-fault non-pulse type are analyzed considering soil–structure interaction, along with paramet...
