The grid-characteristic method is a promising numerical method for solving hyperbolic systems of equations, e.g., equations describing elastic and acoustic waves. This method has high precision and allows physically correct simulations of wave processes in heterogeneous media. The grid-characteristic method makes it possible to correctly take into account boundary conditions and conditions on surfaces with different physical characteristics. The method offers the greatest advantages for one-dimensional equations, especially in combination with a fixed difference grid, as in conventional grid-based methods. However, in the multidimensional case using the algorithms of splitting with respect to spatial variables, the author has managed to preserve its positive qualities. The use of the method of Runge–Kutta type, or the integro-interpolation method for hyperbolic equations makes it possible to effectively carry out a generalization of methods developed for linear equations, in the nonlinear case, in particular, to enforce the difference analogs of the conservation laws, which is important for shock-capturing, for example, discontinuous solutions. Based on the author’s variant of the grid-characteristic method, several important problems of seismic prospecting, seismic resistance, global seismic studies on Earth and Mars, medical applications, nondestructive testing of railway lines, the simulation of the creation and characteristics of composite materials for the aerospace industry and other areas of practical application were numerically solved. A significant advantage of the constructed method is the preservation of its stability and precision at the strains of the environment. This article presents the results of a numerical solution based on the grid-characteristic method to the problem of modeling elastic-plastic deformation in traumatic brain injury.

В настоящее время сейсмостойкое проектирование зданий основано на силовом расчете и представлении эффекта землетрясения статическими эквивалентными силами, которые рассчитываются с использованием упругих спектров реакций (линейно-спектральный метод), связывающих закон движения грунта с абсолютным ускорением модели в виде нелинейного осциллятора.

Такой подход непосредственно не учитывает ни влияния длительности сильных движений, ни пластического поведения конструкции. Частотный состав и продолжительность колебаний грунта напрямую влияют на энергию, поступившую в сооружение и вызывающую повреждение его элементов. В отличие от силового или кинематического расчета сейсмическое воздействие на конструкцию можно интерпретировать, не рассматривая отдельно силы или перемещения, а представить как произведение обеих величин, т. е. работу или входную энергию (максимальную энергию, которую может приобрести сооружение в результате землетрясения).

При энергетическом подходе сейсмического проектирования необходимо оценить входную сейсмическую энергию в сооружение и ее распределение среди различных структурных компонентов.

В статье приводится обоснование энергетического подхода при проектировании сейсмостойких зданий и сооружений взамен применяемого в настоящее время метода, основанного на силовом расчете и представлении эффекта землетрясения статическими эквивалентными силами, которые рассчитываются с использованием спектров реакции.

Отмечено, что интерес к использованию энергетических концепций в сейсмостойком проектировании начался с работ Хаузнера, который представил сейсмические силы в виде входной сейсмической энергии, используя спектр скоростей, и предложил считать, что повреждения в упругопластической системе, как и в упругой системе, вызывает одна и та же входная сейсмическая энергия.

В работе приведены индексы определения входной энергии землетрясения, предложенные различными авторами. Показано, что современные подходы обеспечения сейсмостойкости сооружений, основанные на представлении эффекта землетрясения как статической эквивалентной силы, недостаточно адекватно описывают поведение системы во время землетрясения.

В статье предлагается новый подход количественных оценок сейсмического риска, позволяющий формализовать процесс принятия решений относительно антисейсмических мероприятий. На основе количественных оценок сейсмического риска анализируется разработанный в НИУ МГСУ Стандарт организации (СТО) «Сейсмостойкость сооружений. Основные расчетные положения». В разработанном документе сделан шаг вперед в отношении оптимального проектирования сейсмостойких конструкций.

В предлагаемой концепции используются достижения современных методов расчета зданий и сооружений на сейсмические воздействия, которые гармонизированы с Еврокодом и не противоречат системе отечественных нормативных документов.

Currently, earthquake-resistant design of buildings based on the power calculation and presentation of effect of the earthquake static equivalent forces, which are calculated using elastic response spectra (linear-spectral method) that connects the law of motion of the soil with the absolute acceleration of the model in a nonlinear oscillator.

This approach does not directly take into account either the influence of the duration of strong motion or the plastic behavior of the structure. Frequency content and duration of ground vibrations directly affect the energy received by the building and causing damage to its elements. Unlike power or kinematic calculation of the seismic effect on the structure can be interpreted without considering separately the forces and displacements and to provide, as the product of both variables, i.e., the work or input energy (maximum energy that can be purchased building to the earthquake).

With the energy approach of seismic design, it is necessary to evaluate the input seismic energy in the structure and its distribution among various structural components.

The article provides substantiation of the energy approach in the design of earthquake-resistant buildings and structures instead of the currently used method based on the power calculation and presentation of effect of the earthquake static equivalent forces, which are calculated using spectra of the reaction.

Noted that interest in the use of energy concepts in earthquake-resistant design began with the works of Housner, which provided the seismic force in the form of the input seismic energy, using the range of speeds, and suggested that the damage in elastic-plastic system and elastic system causes one and the same input seismic energy.

The indices of the determination of the input energy of the earthquake, proposed by various authors, are given in this paper. It is shown that modern approaches to ensuring seismic stability of structures, based on the representation of the earthquake effect as a static equivalent force, do not adequately describe the behavior of the system during an earthquake.

In this paper, based on quantitative estimates of seismic risk analyzes developed in the NRU MSUCE Standard Organization (STO) “Seismic resistance structures. The main design provisions”. In the developed document a step forward with respect to the optimal design of earthquake-resistant structures.

The proposed concept of using the achievements of modern methods of calculation of buildings and structures on seismic effects, which are harmonized with the Eurocodes and are not contrary to the system of national regulations.

One of the destroying natural processes is the initiation of the regional seismic activity. It leads to a large number of human deaths. Much effort has been made to develop precise and robust methods for the estimation of the seismic stability of buildings. One of the most common approaches is the natural frequency method. The obvious drawback of this approach is a low precision due to the model oversimplification. The other method is a detailed simulation of dynamic processes using the finite-element method. Unfortunately, the quality of simulations is not enough due to the difficulty of setting the correct free boundary condition. That is why the development of new numerical methods for seismic stability problems is a high priority nowadays.

The present work is devoted to the study of spatial dynamic processes occurring in geological medium during an earthquake. We describe a method for simulating seismic wave propagation from the hypocenter to the day surface. To describe physical processes, we use a system of partial differential equations for a linearly elastic body of the second order, which is solved numerically by a grid-characteristic method on parallelepiped meshes. The widely used geological hypocenter model, called the “double-couple” model, was incorporated into this numerical algorithm. In this case, any heterogeneities, such as geological layers with curvilinear boundaries, gas and fluid-filled cracks, fault planes, etc., may be explicitly taken into account.

In this paper, seismic waves emitted during the earthquake initiation process are numerically simulated. Two different models are used: the homogeneous half-space and the multilayered geological massif with the day surface. All of their parameters are set based on previously published scientific articles. The adequate coincidence of the simulation results is obtained. And discrepancies may be explained by differences in numerical methods used. The numerical approach described can be extended to more complex physical models of geological media.
