Title: Seismic radiation from regions sustaining brittle rock damage

Abstract:

Analytical results indicate that dynamic changes of elastic moduli in source volumes produce “damage-related-radiation” associated with tensorial products of the changes of elastic moduli and the elastic strain components at the source. Decreasing elastic moduli (as produced by brittle deformation of low-porosity rocks and explosions) increase the radiation to the surrounding medium, while increasing moduli (which may be produced during the formation of compaction bands in porous rocks) decrease the radiation to the bulk. A tensorial decomposition analysis indicates that the damage-related-radiation has a large isotropic component. While the total radiation may still be dominated by shear, the dynamic dilation associated with the isotropic radiation can significantly reduce the heat generation near the rupture front and produce a pulse-type rupture and rock fragmentation. Numerical simulations confirm these expectations. The damage-related-radiation involves small length scales (proportional to the rupture width) and is therefore difficult to observe in the far field. However, analyses of earthquake waveforms using seismic data recorded close to earthquake ruptures reveal elevated P-wave radiation and appreciable explosive isotropic source terms (e.g., 5-15% of the total event potencies). Geological studies of deeply exhumed faults in dry granulite rocks show evidence of pulverization and delayed heating in earthquake rupture zones consistent with strong dynamic dilation at the rupture fronts. The high potential importance of damage-related-radiation to the local physics of earthquake ruptures motivates additional theoretical, experimental, and observational research.

Title: What Causes Seismic Anisotropy at Volcanoes and Geothermal Areas, and can it be used for Monitoring?

 

Abstract:

Seismic anisotropy may reveal the state of stress in the crust, and its temporal changes have been attributed to deformation, seismicity, magmatic activity and geothermal extraction.  We review crustal anisotropy in volcanic and geothermal regions from articles published through the end of 2019.  We provide a database of anisotropy measurements to test hypotheses about the origin of anisotropy and about its utility for monitoring magmatic unrest or geothermal production. The majority of the articles (~100) examined shear-wave splitting, and were about evenly divided between causes related entirely to regional stress, local stress or structure. Delay times (a measure of anisotropy strength) increased with period and with depth in the two sets, but with much scatter.

Time variations in shear wave splitting were examined in 29 studies, but few of these presented statistical tests.  Changes were reported in delay times and fast azimuths, and were mostly reported to vary with the occurrence of eruptions or intrusions, seismicity or tremor rate changes, or deformation changes such as GNSS, tilt or strain measurements There is a clear need for studies that examine statistical relationships between anisotropy and other parameters to test monitoring capabilities.

Title:

The use of Computer Vision for Structural Health Monitoring Applications in Hight Seismic Countries

 

Abstract:

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is a process were by continuous monitoring and analysis of its response data it is possible to automatically detect initial damage, identify modal properties or characterize the general behavior of a system. The applications of SHM in a high seismic environment have been successful but challenging. I will present the results of three office buildings, two adobe churches and one wharf structure. In one of the building, damages were clearly identify producing significant changes during and after a severe earthquake, the effect on modal properties as a functions of response amplitude are shown to vary nonlinearly even without the presence of damage. In the wharf structure the effect of the environment is particularly strong due to variations of sea level (tide) and loading, a simple but successful scheme was used, given the operators practical tools for action. One of the main limitations of SHM is the cost of instrumentations and its maintenance.  An option is to complement the standard sensors with massive use of relative low-cost web camaras. The use of videos for motion tracking vibrations is possible. Examples will be presented for laboratory and real structures.
