Stochastic Generation of Accelerograms for Subduction Earthquakes
(Seismological Society of America, 2016)
The generation of accelerograms using stochastic methods has been a very useful methodology for solving the problem of the lack of appropriate strong-motion records for seismic design. Here, we propose the generation of ...
Simulation and experimental validation of the motion of immersed rigid bodies in viscous flows
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA, 2008)
In this work we present the numerical analysis of the motion of a rigid body immersed in a viscous fluid. The fluid flow induced by the gravity-driven motion of a rigid body is particularly analysed using cylinders and ...

Strong ground motion simulation of the 2015 Illapel earthquake using corrected empirical Green’s functions
(National Information Centre of Earthquake Engineering, 2017)
The September 16th 2015 Illapel, Chile, earthquake (Mw 8.4) generated a good set of aftershock data that enabled us to develop and to validate a model for synthetic ground motion generation. This study presents a methodology ...
A hands-on exploration of the retrograde motion of Mars as seen from the Earth
(IOP Publishing, 2013-07)
In this paper, we propose a set of activities based on the use of a celestial simulator to gain insights into the retrograde motion of Mars as seen from the Earth. These activities provide a useful link between the ...
A spectral approach to simulating intrinsic random fields with power and spline generalized covariances
(SPRINGER, 2008-03)
This article presents a variant of the spectral turning bands method that allows fast and accurate simulation of intrinsic random fields with power, spline, or logarithmic generalized covariances. The method is applicable ...
