Book The Finite Difference Modelling of Earthquake Motions

Download or read book The Finite Difference Modelling of Earthquake Motions written by Peter Moczo and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among all the numerical methods in seismology, the finite-difference (FD) technique provides the best balance of accuracy and computational efficiency. This book offers a comprehensive introduction to FD and its applications to earthquake motion. Using a systematic tutorial approach, the book requires only undergraduate degree-level mathematics and provides a user-friendly explanation of the relevant theory. It explains FD schemes for solving wave equations and elastodynamic equations of motion in heterogeneous media, and provides an introduction to the rheology of viscoelastic and elastoplastic media. It also presents an advanced FD time-domain method for efficient numerical simulations of earthquake ground motion in realistic complex models of local surface sedimentary structures. Accompanied by a suite of online resources to help put the theory into practice, this is a vital resource for professionals and academic researchers using numerical seismological techniques, and graduate students in earthquake seismology, computational and numerical modelling, and applied mathematics.

Book Effect of Grid Size on Cutoff Frequency in the Numerical Solution of an Elastic One dimensional Wave Propagation Problem

Download or read book Effect of Grid Size on Cutoff Frequency in the Numerical Solution of an Elastic One dimensional Wave Propagation Problem written by Paul F. Hadala and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Waterways Experiment Station one-dimensional (1D) finite difference ground motion calculation code was used to investigate the influences of grid size and acceleration convergence criteria on cutoff-frequency phenomena in the numerical solution of an elastic 1D wave propagation problem. Rise time to peak stress or particle velocity was shown to increase with increaaed grid size. In addition, the coarser the grid, the greater will be the overshoot of peak stress and velocity. Increasing AMIN, the acceleration convergence error tolerance in the code's numerical integration scheme, had a significant effect on the amplitudes but not the frequency of the oscillations that occurred in the 1D elastic finite difference computer code calculations.

Book Full Seismic Waveform Modelling and Inversion

Download or read book Full Seismic Waveform Modelling and Inversion written by Andreas Fichtner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-11-16 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent progress in numerical methods and computer science allows us today to simulate the propagation of seismic waves through realistically heterogeneous Earth models with unprecedented accuracy. Full waveform tomography is a tomographic technique that takes advantage of numerical solutions of the elastic wave equation. The accuracy of the numerical solutions and the exploitation of complete waveform information result in tomographic images that are both more realistic and better resolved. This book develops and describes state of the art methodologies covering all aspects of full waveform tomography including methods for the numerical solution of the elastic wave equation, the adjoint method, the design of objective functionals and optimisation schemes. It provides a variety of case studies on all scales from local to global based on a large number of examples involving real data. It is a comprehensive reference on full waveform tomography for advanced students, researchers and professionals.

Book Seismic Wave Propagation in Stratified Media

Download or read book Seismic Wave Propagation in Stratified Media written by Brian Kennett and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2009-05-01 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seismic Wave Propagation in Stratified Media presents a systematic treatment of the interaction of seismic waves with Earth structure. The theoretical development is physically based and is closely tied to the nature of the seismograms observed across a wide range of distance scales - from a few kilometres as in shallow reflection work for geophysical prospecting, to many thousands of kilometres for major earthquakes. A unified framework is presented for all classes of seismic phenomena, for both body waves and surface waves. Since its first publication in 1983 this book has been an important resource for understanding the way in which seismic waves can be understood in terms of reflection and transmission properties of Earth models, and how complete theoretical seismograms can be calculated. The methods allow the development of specific approximations that allow concentration on different seismic arrivals and hence provide a direct tie to seismic observations.
