In a way perhaps not dissimilar to stress drop (Atkinson and Beresnev, 1997), the high-
frequency attenuation parameter κ (kappa), introduced by Anderson and Hough (1984), is …

A recently compiled, comprehensive, and good-quality strong-motion database of the
Iranian earthquakes has been used to develop local empirical equations for the prediction of …

A parameterized stochastic model of near‐fault ground motion in two orthogonal horizontal
directions is developed. The major characteristics of recorded near‐fault ground motions are …
