Abstract: For far-field wave-motion response to a point dynamic dislocation source, the temporal and spatial features of the source mechanism are characterized, respectively, by two factors, i.e., a source ...

Abstract: Currently the kriging and conditional probability density function (CPDF) methods are widely used in solving the conditional simulation problems involving stochastic processes and fields. For the fundamental understanding ...

Abstract: Seismic waves in a layered half-space with lateral inhomogeneities, generated by a buried seismic dislocation source, are investigated in these two consecutive papers. In the first paper, the ...

Abstract: Seismic wave scattering representation for the layered half-space with lateral inhomogeneities subjected to a seismic dislocation source has been formulated in the companion paper with the use ...

Abstract: The dynamic behavior of a surface‐mounted pipeline under seismic excitation is investigated. The ground motion is modeled as a superposition of decaying random traveling waves, and the pipeline is modeled as an infinitely ...

Abstract: A model for earthquake ground motion is developed using principles of geophysics and stochastics in a sequence of two papers. In the first paper, the earth is idealized as being composed of horizontally stratified layers, ...

Abstract: The pulse shape function obtained in a companion paper is incorporated in the development of a stochastic earthquake model. It is assumed that seismic ground motion is caused by shear dislocation that propagates along a ...

Abstract: This study examines the rationale of Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) for analyzing dynamic and earthquake motion recordings in studies of seismology and engineering. In particular, this paper first provides the fundamentals ...
