Simulations still can't predict exactly when an earthquake will happen, but with the incredible processing power of modern exascale supercomputers, they can now predict how they will happen and how ...

Researchers at LLNL are using supercomputers to simulate the onset of earthquakes in California. In the next 30 years, there is a one-in-three chance that the Hayward fault will rupture with a 6.7 ...

As part of the US Department of Energy’s Exascale Computing Project (ECP), the Earthquake Simulation (EQSIM) application development team is creating a computational tool set and workflow for ...

A multi-disciplinary team has simulated the largest, longest multiphysics earthquake simulation to date. Just before 8:00 a.m. local time on December 26, 2004, people in southeast Asia were starting ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — While extreme earthquakes are not a concern for Western New Yorkers, researchers are using a local "earthquake simulator" to help areas in the country impacted by these natural ...

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., March 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- MTS Systems Corporation (NASDAQ: MTSC), a leading global supplier of high-performance test systems, motion simulators and sensors, today announced ...

Accurately modeling the effects of an earthquake is possible, but it requires intricate physics-based models that can only be run on advanced supercomputers. The data from such models are invaluable ...

A mathematical trick speeds up seismic calculations for earthquake simulations and could revolutionize earthquake preparedness.

Japan has spent much of the past three weeks working to repair the damage caused by an unprecedented earthquake. As people from around the world pitched in to help, a Claggett Middle School classroom ...

The concept uses inexpensive braces called Buckling Restrained Braces (BRBs) and sliding bearings that work together to protect the bridge columns and superstructure from damage, so that the bridge ...

Researchers at LMU and TUM in Munich are up for best paper at SC17 after simulating one of the largest, most violent earthquakes in history. Just before 8:00 a.m. local time on December 26, 2004, ...
