The need for artificial computational boundaries in the solution of exterior wave problems, called “absorbing boundaries” among other names, arises quite often in var [...]

A high-order Absorbing Boundary Condition (ABC) is devised on an artificial boundary for time-dependent elastic waves in unbounded domains. The configuration considered i [...]

The 1985 Michoacán earthquake highlighted the seismic risk in Mexico City posed by large magnitude (M>7) earthquakes at the subduction interface off the Pacific Coast [...]

Design codes incorporate seismic torsional effects via elastic static or dynamic analyses, and seem to favor three-dimensional elastic modal procedures. However, several [...]

In recent years, dynamic source rupture models have been increasingly used to represent the fault rupture propagation during earthquakes. Several numerical approaches, su [...]

This paper quantifies the effects of the variability of soil-structure interaction parameters on the statistical parameters of inelastic structural systems to seismic inp [...]
