Abstract: This paper presents an innovative method using volume rendering computer graphics techniques for visualizing the spectral information of a seismic response, using the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake in Taiwan as an example. In ...

Abstract: Reanalysis datasets have been widely used in meteorological research, including studies of Northeast China cold vortices (NCCVs), where these datasets act as effective substitutes for observations. However, to date, no ...

Abstract: This research adopted a multilevel substructuring approach to improve the efficiency of parallel substructure finite-element analysis. The multilevel approach employed in this work provides a simple way to parallelize the ...

Abstract: Octahedral and spherical Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized and used as heterogeneous Fenton-like catalysts to degrade methylene blue (MB). Their catalytic activities were investigated by evaluating the effects of ...

Abstract: Damage assessment in postearthquake reconnaissance of civil structures has traditionally relied upon the judgment of experienced site inspectors. In a step toward eliminating the need for on-site inspections, this paper ...
