seismic displacement
1Seismic analysis — is a subset of structural analysis and is the calculation of the response of a building (or nonbuilding) structure to earthquakes. It is part of the process of structural design, earthquake engineering or structural assessment and retrofit (see… …
2Seismic moment — is a quantity used by earthquake seismologists to measure the size of an earthquake. The scalar seismic moment M 0 is defined by the equationM 0=mu Au, where *mu is the shear modulus of the rocks involved in the earthquake, typically 30… …
3Seismic scale — A seismic scale is used to measure and compare the severity of earthquakes. (For a quick review, see the table of seismic scales at the end of this article.)Two fundamentally different but equally important types of scales are commonly used by… …
4seismic wave — Vibration generated by an earthquake, explosion, or similar phenomenon and propagated within the Earth or along its surface. Earthquakes generate two principal types of waves: body waves, which travel within the Earth, and surface waves, which… …
5seismic moment — noun A quantity used to determine the the size of an earthquake. Calculated either from a seismogram, or from the measurement of the area affected and the displacement of the rocks …
6Fault mechanics — is a field of study that investigates the behavior of geologic faults. Behind every good earthquake is some weak rock. Whether the rock remains weak becomes an important point in determining the potential for bigger earthquakes.On a small scale,… …
7Position sensor — A position sensor is any device that enables position measurement. It can either be an absolute position sensor or a relative one (displacement sensor). Position sensors can be either linear or angular.Some position sensors available today: *… …
