On Damage Identification in Planar Frames of Arbitrary Size by I. Fiore, A. Greco, A. Pluchino

“…Very often, the critical sections are located in the joints between the structural elements of the frame where the bending moment reaches its maximum value. Assuming that the joints are rigid in the undamaged configuration of the frame, it is possible to take into account their loss of stiffness due to the presence of eventual damage by means of hinges with rotational springs of variable rigidity. …”

The evolution process between the earthquake swarm beneath the Noto Peninsula, central Japan and the 2024 M 7.6 Noto Hanto earthquake sequence by Zhigang Peng, Xinglin Lei, Qing-Yu Wang, Dun Wang, Phuc Mach, Dongdong Yao, Aitaro Kato, Kazushige Obara, Michel Campillo

“…Relocated seismicity revealed that the 2024 M 7.6 mainshock likely ruptured a thrust fault above a parallel fault where the M 6.5 Suzu earthquake occurred in May 2023. We find possible along-strike and along-dip expansion of seismicity in the first few months at the beginning of the swarm sequence, while no obvious migration pattern in the last few days before the M 7.6 mainshock was observed. …”
