The fault plane of the source is divided into a number of sub-sources, the whole moment magnitude is also divided into more sub-events. The Fourier spectrum of ground motion caused by a sub-event in given sub-source, then can be derived by means of taking the point source spectrum, attenuation with distance, energy dissipation, and near surface effect, into account. A time history is synthesized from this amplitude spectrum and a random phase spectrum, and being combined with an envelope function. The ground motion is worked out by superposition of all time histories from each sub-event in each sub-source, with time lags determining by the differences between the triggering times of sub-events and distances of the sub-sources. From the example of simulations at 21 near field points in a scenario earthquake with 4 dip angles of the fault plane, it is illustrated that the procedure can describe the rupture directivity and hanging wall effect very well. To validate the procedure, the response spectra and time histories recorded at three near fault stations MCN, LV3 and PCD during the Northridge earthquake in 1994, are compared with the simulated ones.展开更多

Based on the field investigation of the characteristics of ground deformation and ground failure caused by the M S8 1 earthquake in the west of the Kunlun Mountain Pass, China, the influence of temperature on the dynamic constitutive relationship, dynamic elastic modulus, damping ratio and dynamic strength of frozen soil was quantitatively studied by means of the dynamic triaxial test. Moreover, the characteristics of ground motion on a permafrost site under different temperatures were analyzed for the four profiles of permafrost along the Qinghai Xizang(Tibet) Railway using the time histories of ground motion acceleration with 3 exceedance probabilities of the Kunlun Mountains area. The influences of temperature on the seismic displacement, velocity, acceleration and response spectrum on permafrost ground were studied quantitatively. A scientific basis was presented for earthquake disaster mitigation for engineering foundations, highways and underground engineering in permafrost areas.展开更多

Jaumanns rate, Fus rate and Wus rate were incorporated into the endochronic equations to analyze simple shear finite deformation. Incremental equations and numerical solutions are deduced for three endochronic objective models. The results show that an oscillatory shear stress response to a monotonically increasing shear strain occurs when the Jaumanns rate objective model is employed for endochronic materials. The oscillatory response is dependent on the adopted objective rate. Compared with the Jaumanns rate, the Fus rate and the Wus rate satisfy the restrictions to elastic-plastic constitutive relations and are in agreement with the experimental results.展开更多
