Chiral carbon dots (C-dots) with a circularly polarized fluorescence (CPF) property have attracted tremendous attention due to their significant applications in chiral optoelectronics and theranostics. However, constructing room-temperature phosphorescent (CPRTP) C-dots remains great challenge. Herein, strategy is established achieve efficient CPF CPRTP emissions C-dots/chiral helical polymer bilayer composite film. Taking advantage of the filter effect polymer, intense large dissymmetric...
This study examines the rationale of Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) for analyzing dynamic and earthquake motion recordings in studies seismology engineering. In particular, this paper first provides fundamentals HHT method, which consist empirical mode decomposition (EMD) Hilbert spectral analysis. It then uses to analyze hypothetical real wave motion, results are compared with obtained by Fourier data processing technique. The analysis two indicates that method is able extract some...
Abstract We simulate long-period ( T >1.0–2.0 s) and broadband >0.1 ground motions for 39 scenario earthquakes M w 6.7–7.2) involving the Hayward, Calaveras, Rodgers Creek faults. For rupture on Hayward fault, we consider effects of creep coseismic slip using two different approaches, both which reduce motions, compared with neglecting influence creep. Nevertheless, generate strong shaking throughout San Francisco Bay area, about 50% urban area experiencing modified Mercalli intensity VII...

Dip-slip faulting may juxtapose different geologic materials with differ- ent properties, such that a strong material contrast will naturally tend to form. Both the across fault and dip-slip motion on nonvertical lead normal stress variations during earthquake rupture. This variation significantly affect dynamic rupture propagation. To demonstrate this, we model propagation two-dimensional (2D), reverse, faults (30°, 45°, 60° dipping) 20% contrasts. For predominantly up-dip propagation, find...
We present an implementation of the perfectly matched layer (pml) absorbing boundary conditions and modeling intrinsic attenuation ( Q ) in explicit finite-element simulations wave propagation. The method uses one integration point hourglass control scheme, which leads to easy extension velocity-stress pml method. Numerical examples using both regular irregular elements region show excellent results: very few reflections are observed from for body waves surface waves—far superior classic...
Large dynamic stress off the fault incurs an inelastic response and energy loss, which contributes to fracture energy, limiting rupture slip velocity. Using explicit finite element method, we model three‐dimensional ruptures on a vertical strike‐slip in homogeneous half‐space. The material is subjected pressure‐dependent Drucker‐Prager yield criterion. Initial stresses medium increase linearly with depth. Our simulations show that confined narrowly at There strain induced by large associated...
I present a rigorous unifying interpretation of the well‐documented widespread near‐surface and fault zone damage induced by earthquakes simulating three‐dimensional dynamic rupture propagation on vertical strike‐slip fault. Stresses in crust are depth‐dependent material response is governed Drucker‐Prager yield criterion. show that yielding seismic waves under low confining pressure causes damage. Because increases with depth, at depth narrowly confined near fault, but its thickness...
We investigate the effects of large-scale surface topography on ground motions generated by nearby faulting. show a specific example studying effect San Gabriel Mountains, which are bounded Mojave segment Andreas fault north and Los Angeles Basin south. By si- mulating Mw 7.5 earthquake fault, we that Mountains act as natural seismic insulator for metropo- litan Angeles. The mountains scatters waves gen- erated rupture leading to less-efficient excitation basin-edge resonances within Basin....
Dynamic pore pressure changes in the overriding wedge above a shallow‐dipping plate interface significantly affect rupture dynamics of shallow subduction zone earthquakes and their tsunamigenesis. For on verge Coulomb failure everywhere including basal fault, dynamic increase due to up‐dip propagation leads widespread yielding within wedge, which is greatly enhanced by dip fault. The reduces stress drop, slip velocity, slip, giving rise prolonged duration, thus explaining many anomalous...
Abstract Elastic dislocation models require large near‐trench slip to explain tsunamigenesis, which is probably best exemplified in the 2011 M9 Tohoku earthquake. However, it puzzling that largest tsunami heights occurred about 100 km north of zone, where bathymetric surveys indicate no at trench or submarine landslides. Here we show coseismic yielding plentiful sediments northern Japan Trench margin can induce inelastic uplift landward from and diminish near trench. The scarcity south leads...
We present two spontaneous rupture models of the 2004 M w 6.0 Parkfield earthquake constrained by near‐source ground motions. start with a stress drop distribution calculated from kinematic slip distribution. Using linear slip‐weakening friction law, we utilize trial and error to obtain both conditions frictional parameters on fault that produce synthetics consistent records. The material contrast across San Andreas Fault is incorporated using different one‐dimensional velocity structures...
Abstract We correlate the vertical component of ambient seismic noise data recorded on 56 broadband stations with dense coverage in greater Los Angeles area to determine station-to-station Green’s functions. These functions provide an important test community velocity models (Southern California Earthquake Center [SCEC] CVM 4.0 and CVM-H 5.2) used for strong ground-motion prediction future scenario earthquakes southern California.

Abstract Fault gouge deformation likely plays a significant role in controlling the strength of mature, large‐displacement faults. Experiments show that intact deforms an overall ductile and stable manner, readily compacting, but dilates experiences brittle failure under large strain rate. Inelastic compaction dilatancy are modeled here using combined Mohr‐Coulomb end‐cap yield criterion dynamic rupture model strike‐slip fault with strongly velocity‐weakening friction. We shear stress...
By modeling spontaneous ruptures, we study the mechanism dependence of radiated seismic energy from three hypothetical crustal events, 30° dipping reverse fault, 60° normal and a vertical strike‐slip 1994 blind‐thrust Northridge earthquake. Embedded in homogeneous half‐space, all faults have same area are subjected to shear stress conditions frictional parameters.
