A Comparative Study on the VS30 and N30 Based Seismic Site Classification in Kahramanmaras, Turkey by Dalia Munaff Naji, Muge K. Akin, Ali Firat Cabalar

“…Assessment of seismic site classification (SSC) using either the average shear wave velocity (VS30) or the average SPT-N values (N30) for upper 30 m in soils is the simplest method to carry out various studies including site response and soil-structure interactions. Either the VS30- or the N30-based SSC maps designed according to the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) classification system are effectively used to predict possible locations for future seismic events. …”

Nonlinear dynamics and stability analysis of horizontal vibration for rolling system with gyro-precession and eccentricity effects by Chaofan Sun, Wu Zhao, Wei Liu, Guiquan Han, Yuqi Chen, Xiangwen Kong

“…Secondly, according to Runge-Kutta method, the chaos threshold of the dissipative system is obtained through the abrupt change point of the phase trajectory topology structure. By taking the force fluctuation amplitude above the chaotic critical threshold, it is analyzed the systematic bifurcation and maximum Lyapunov exponent to explore the systematic stability in the unstable state space, which reveal the effect of parameters variation on the nonlinear dynamic behavior of systematic horizontal vibration. …”
