Our models and understanding of the dynamics of earthquake rupture are based largely on
estimates of earthquake source parameters, such as stress drop and radiated seismic …

Seismic attenuation and the associated quality factor (Q) have long been studied in various
sub-disciplines of seismology, ranging from observational and engineering seismology to …

Spectral parameter kappa (κ) is widely used to model the decay slope of the Fourier
acceleration spectrum at high frequencies. This study presents estimates of κ 0, often …

Ground‐motion studies are a key component of seismic hazard analyses and often rely on
information of the source, path, and site. Extensive research has been done on each of …

Earthquake ground motions (GMs) may display distinct characteristics in all directions within
the horizontal plane. However, the causes of GM polarization are still not fully understood …

One way to study the physical process that occurs behind earthquakes and how they affect
different sites depending on the source type and the geological structure of the site is the …

ABSTRACT A well‐known difficulty in the popular simulations of earthquake ground motions
for seismic hazard assessment using the point‐source model is overprediction of high …

The stochastic finite-fault approach was used to model the 2022 Luding earthquake with a
magnitude of Mw 6.6 in China at 16 selected near-field stations. To investigate the impact of …

Ground motions from shallow induced earthquakes and tectonic seismicity were
investigated in this study by directly modeling the seismic attenuation quality factor (Q) using …

This article presents a ground motion database for California and its close surroundings (ie
areas near the border in Nevada, Oregon, and Arizona) from earthquakes between 1999 …
