Consideration of nonlinear wheel-rail contact forces for dynamic vehicle-bridge interaction in high-speed railways

In this work models with nonlinear wheel-rail contact forces are considered for analysing the dynamic interaction between high speed trains and bridges, in order to study dynamic effects both in the bridge and in the vehicles resulting from the coupling. N ...

Dynamics of Slip Fronts at Frictional Interfaces: Analysis of Slip Precursors and Rupture Velocity

Jean-François Molinari, Mathilde Edmée Lucette Radiguet de la Bastaie, David Simon Kammer, Vladislav Yastrebov

The rupture dynamics of earthquakes span a considerable range, from slow to super-shear ruptures. Rupture speed has a major influence on the generation of strong ground motions, yet our understanding of the mechanisms causing these variations in the ruptur ...

Interfaces: How the Rupture Speed of Slip Fronts is Related to the Deformation Energy

Jean-François Molinari, David Simon Kammer, Vladislav Yastrebov

The transition from sticking to sliding of a frictional interface does not happen uniformly. The shear resistance of the interface is usually reached at a single point from which an interface rupture starts to propagate (Rubinstein et al., 2004). The repet ...

Slow slip events in Guerrero, Mexico, and consequences on strain accumulation over the past 15 years (invited).

Mathilde Edmée Lucette Radiguet de la Bastaie

Continuous Global Positioning System (cGPS) time series in Guerrero, Mexico, reveal the widespread existence of large Slow Slip Events (SSEs) at the boundary between the Cocos and North American plates. The existence of these SSEs asks the question of how ...

Numerical and experimental evaluation of seismic capacity of high-rise steel buildings subjected to long duration earthquakes

Dimitrios Lignos

Occurrences of large earthquakes having a magnitude larger than eight along subduction zones have been reported worldwide. Due to large number of load reversals the effect of cumulative damage on structural components due to deterioration becomes critical ...

Time-frequency analysis of Transitory/Permanent frequency decrease in civil engineering structures during earthquakes

Clotaire Michel

The analysis of strong and weak motion recordings in existing structures is critical for understanding both the damaging process during earthquakes and their structural behavior. The time-frequency representation is one of the existing methods to get infor ...

Full Scale Dynamic Response of a RC Building under Weak Seismic Motions Using Earthquake Recordings, Ambient Vibrations and Modelling

Clotaire Michel

In countries with a moderate seismic hazard, the classical methods developed for strong motion prone countries to estimate the seismic behaviour and subsequent vulnerability of existing buildings are often inadequate and not financially realistic. The main ...

New time-dependent slip inversion of Slow Slip Events: application to the 2006 Guerrero SSE

Mathilde Edmée Lucette Radiguet de la Bastaie

The 2006 Slow Slip Event in Guerrero, Mexico, is one of the world's largest SSE observed up to now. Thanks to the development of the Guerrero GPS network, the 2006 event was recorded at 15 continuous GPS stations that allowed a detailed study of the surfac ...

Dependency of near-field ground motions on the structural maturity of the ruptured faults.

Mathilde Edmée Lucette Radiguet de la Bastaie

AB: The accurate prediction of near-source strong-ground motions in future earthquakes is a major challenge for seismologists and earthquake engineers. Such a prediction is however difficult, partly because ground motions are highly variable while the reas ...
