We present a method of constructing low-dimensional nonlinear models describing the main dynamical features of a discrete 2D cellular fault zone, with many degrees of freedom, embedded in a 3D elastic solid. A given fault system is…
Dynamic response evaluation in structural engineering is the process of determining the response of a structure, such as member forces, node displacements, etc when subjected to dynamic loads such as earthquakes, wind, or impact. This is an…
Interaction of corrugated steel plates with surrounding soil medium causes the investigation of seismic behavior of soil-steel structures to be complicated. Reviewing the available literature confirms the considerable scarceness in this…
Anyone who has built a sandcastle recognizes that the addition of liquid to granular materials increases their stability. However, measurements of this increased stability often conflict with theory and with each other [1-7]. A…
The Belleplaine test site, located in the island of Guadeloupe (French Lesser Antilles) includes a three-accelerometer vertical array, designed for liquefac- tion studies. The seismic response of the soil column at the test site is computed…
Natural earthquake fault systems are highly non-homogeneous. The inhomogeneities occur be- cause the earth is made of a variety of materials which hold and dissipate stress differently. In this work, we study scaling in earthquake fault…
Local wave amplification due to strong seismic motions in surficial multilayered soil is influenced by several parameters such as the wavefield polarization and the dynamic properties and impedance contrast between soil layers. The present…
The recent surge in earthquake engineering is the use of machine learning methods to develop predictive models for structural behavior. Complex black-box models are typically used for decision making to achieve high accuracy; however, as…
A semi-implicit two-phase double-point Material Point Method (MPM) formulation, based on the incremental fractional-step method to model large deformation geotechnical problems has been derived. The semi-implicit formulation has two…
The overburden structures often can distort the responses of the target region in seismic data, especially in land datasets. Ideally, all effects of the overburden and underburden structures should be removed, leaving only the responses of…
Strong seismic motions in soils generally lead to both a stiffness reduction and an increase of the energy dissipation in the surficial layers. In order to study such phenomena, several nonlinear constitutive models were proposed and were…
Origami structures have been receiving a lot of attention from engineering and scientific researchers owing to their unique properties such as deployability, multi-stability, negative stiffness, etc. However, dynamic properties of origami…
State space models (SSMs) have been shown to possess the theoretical capacity to model both star-free sequential tasks and bounded hierarchical structures Sarrof et al. (2024). However, formal expressivity results do not guarantee that…

The direct analysis of the dynamic response of materials is possible using Split Hopkinson pressure bar method. For soils, it has to be adapted since the specimen has generally poor mechanical properties. An original experimental…
One of the commonly used seismic force-resisting systems in structures is Reinforced Concrete (RC) Intermediate Moment Frames (IMF). Although using the IMF is not allowed in high seismic hazard zones according to ASCE 7-10, it is permitted…
Terrestrial exoplanets are of great interest for being simultaneously similar to and different from Earth. Their compositions are likely comparable to those of solar-terrestrial objects, but their internal pressures and temperatures can…
Analyzing the NEIC-data we have shown that the spatial deep-focus earthquake distribution in the Earth interior over the 1993-2006 is characterized by the clearly defined periodical fine discrete structure with period L=50 km, which is…
This paper presents a more stable implementation and a highly accurate numerical tool for predicting flooding in urban areas. We started with the (linearised) well-posedness analysis by [1], where far-field boundary conditions were proposed…
