The emphasis is on the finite element-related problems in the finite fault source modeling. A modified kinematic source model is presented, in which vibration with some high frequency components is introduced into the traditional slip time function to ensure that the source and ground motion include sufficient high frequency components. The model presented is verified through a simple modeling example. It is shown that the predicted near-fault ground motion field exhibits similar characteristics to those observed in strong motion records, such as the hanging wall effect, vertical effect, fling step effect and velocity pulse effect, etc.展开更多

Especially, it is an important milestone for strong motion observation to expand application fields into earthquake monitoring that real-time simulation of ground displacement can be obtained by strong motion records for determining three earthquake parameters. For the purpose of application, on the basis of principle of seismic response of single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) system, this paper presents a suit of formula of simulating ground displacement records by using strong ground motion records with the help of simulator of SDOF system. The research results show that the technique is very efficient and can be widely applied to earthquake monitoring.展开更多

First, the strongly nonlinear square and cubic plunging and pitching stiffness terms are considered in the airfoil motion equations, and the fourth-order Runge-Kutta simulation method is used to obtain the numerical solutions to the equations. Then, a post-processing program is developed to calculate the physical parameters such as the amplitude and the frequency based on the discrete numerical solutions. With these parameters, the transition of the airfoil motion from balance, period, and period-doubling bifurcations to chaos is emphatically analyzed. Finally, the critical points of the period-doubling bifurcations and chaos are predicted using the Feigenbaum constant and the first two bifurcation critical values. It is shown that the numerical simulation method with post-processing and the prediction procedure are capable of simulating and predicting the bifurcation and chaos of airfoils with multiple strong nonlinearities.展开更多
