Zusammenfassung Eine genauere Untersuchung der bekannten Modelle isotropen Materialverhaltens (z.B. von Mises, Tresca, Mohr-Coulomb, Drucker-Prager usw.) zeigt, dass sie selten mit Versuchsergebnissen ?bereinstimmen. Modelle mit inkompressiblen Eigenschaften sch?tzen oft das Materialverhalten bei mehraxialen Zugbelastungen falsch ein. Beim Flie?en unter Druck liefern die Modelle mit kompressiblen Eigenschaften unzul?ssige Werte der Querkontraktionszahl. Erfahrungen zeigen, dass es schwierig ist, mehrdimensionales Materialverhalten bei h?ufig fehlenden Informationen werkstoffgerecht abzubilden. Viele Modelle liefern akzeptable Ergebnisse nur f?r bestimmte Bereiche des Spannungsraumes. Diese Beobachtung hat auf die Idee gef?hrt, ,,bew?hrte?? Modelle miteinander zu verbinden. In diesem Artike...
Introduction Uchide and Ide [SSA Spring Meeting, 2009] proposed a new framework for studying the scaling and overall nature of earthquake rupture growth in terms of cumulative moment functions. For better understanding of rupture growth processes, spatiotemporally local processes are also important. The nature of high-frequency (HF) radiation has been investigated for some time, but its role in the earthquake rupture process is still unclear. A wavelet analysis reveals that the HF radiation (e.g., 4 - 32 Hz) of the 2004 Parkfield earthquake is peaky, which implies that the sources of the HF radiation are isolated in space and time. We experiment with applying a matched filter analysis using small template events occurring near the target event rupture area to test whether it can reveal the HF radiation sources for a regular large earthquake. Method We design a matched filter for multiple components and stations. Shelly et al. [2007] attempted identifying ...
