Despite the extreme complexity that characterizes the mechanism of the earthquake
generation process, simple empirical scaling relations apply to the collective properties of …

Non-extensive statistical mechanics (or q-statistics) is based on the so-called non-additive
Tsallis entropy. Since its introduction by Tsallis, in 1988, as a generalization of the …

Brittleness is a key parameter controlling the rock mechanical behaviors and failure
characteristics of engineering rock mass, such as fracability, cutability, drillability, sawability …

In the present work the statistical properties of the earthquake activity in a highly seismic
region, the West Corinth rift (Central Greece), are being studied by means of generalized …

To investigate the acoustic emission (AE) self-similarity, chaotic, and fractal features and
precursory anomalies of the surrounding rock of underground caverns, uniaxial …

In the present study, we demonstrate in the frame of non-extensive statistical physics,
significant deviations of the global seismic activity from a quasi-stationary regime before …

Acoustic emission (AE), recorded during uniaxial compressive loading with constantly
increasing stress and stepped stress increments until the fracture of prismatic marble …

Acoustic emissions exhibit complex correlations between space, time, and magnitude. As
such, they present a unique example for a complex time series. We apply the recently …

Earthquakes exhibit complex correlations in space, time, and magnitude. As such, they
present a unique example for a time series exhibiting complexity. To uncover hidden …

This paper presents a novel scheme for the estimation of large earthquake event occurrence
based on radial basis function (RBF) neural network (NN) models. The input vector to the …
