IDENTIFICATION OF A NASCENT TECTONIC BOUNDARY IN THE SAN-IN AREA, SOUTHWEST JAPAN, USING A 3D S-WAVE VELOCITY STRUCTURE OBTAINED BY AMBIENT NOISE SURFACE WAVE TOMOGRAPHY

Identification of a nascent tectonic boundary in the San-in area, southwest Japan, using a 3D S-wave velocity structure obtained by ambient noise surface wave tomography

Abstract We derived a three-dimensional S-wave velocity model for the San-in area of southwest Food Items Japan to examine heterogeneous structures such as tectonic faults.Many earthquakes occur in this area, but much of the activity has been relatively recent, so the fault distribution has yet to be fully clarified.Here, we used continuous ambient

Peculiarities of traction forces in wheel/rail contact area

Tractive force and train movement stability Cuddlers dependence on division of forces involved in wheel/rail contact area are the main subjects of this article.The influence of wheel/rail contact properties in the vehicle dynamics and adhesion fields is investigated.Current tendency all over the world is to reduce the conicity of wheels with the ai
