An experimental program using a 6 degree-of-freedom earthquake simulator at the University at Buffalo was executed to generate data for supporting validation of numerical models for seismic ...

Scientists used supercomputer simulation to reveal the underlying mechanism by which the irregular fault geometry, characterized by multisegments, controlled the variation of the fault slip and ...

This illustration featuring earthquake simulation data from the San Francisco Bay Area shows how seismic energy is shaped and directed by local geology and how buildings and infrastructure respond to ...

Last month, a 5.1-magnitude earthquake hit Los Angeles, shocking people as it came while a hurricane approached. It was the strongest earthquake to hit L.A. since 2014. Andrew McCalip, a mechanical ...
