Simulation analysis is an effective method for the safety assessment of a building after earthquake. This kind evaluating foundations or piles, whose cannot be confirmed by visual check. In conducting these analyses, input motion should set to reproduce observed wave at point model. If model in linear range, can easily using frequency domain method, which most popular method. However, this setting difficult if (e.g., soil) exhibits non-linear behavior. cases, properties changes every time...

Simulation analysis is an effective method for assessing building safety after earthquake. This kind of evaluating foundations or piles, whose cannot be confirmed by a visual check. During such analyses, the input motion should set to reproduce observed waves at points. In these cases, modal iterative error correction (MIEC) can used even if model exhibits nonlinear behavior. However, how choose mode difficult. Using selection singular value calculated decomposition, previous paper presented...

A new processing technique called non-harmonic analysis (NHA) is proposed for optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging. Conventional Fourier-domain OCT employs the discrete Fourier transform (DFT), which depends on window function and length. The axial resolution of image, calculated by using DFT, inversely proportional to full width at half maximum (FWHM) wavelength range. FWHM range limited sweeping source in swept-source it number CCD pixels spectral-domain OCT. However, NHA process...
