Abstract The earthquake rupture termination mechanism and size of the ruptured area are crucial parameters for earthquake magnitude estimations and seismic hazard assessments. The 2016 Mw 7.0 Kumamoto Earthquake, central Kyushu, Japan, ruptured a 34-km-long area along previously recognized active faults, eastern part of the Futagawa fault zone and northernmost part of the Hinagu fault zone. Many researchers have suggested that a magma chamber under Aso Volcano terminated the eastward rupture. However, the termination mechanism of the southward rupture has remained unclear. Here, we conduct a local seismic tomographic inversion using a dense temporary seismic network to detail the seismic velocity structure around the southern termination of the rupture. The compressional-wave velocity (Vp) results and compressional- to shear-wave velocity (Vp/Vs) structure indicate several E–W- and ENE–WSW-trending zonal anomalies in the upper to middle crust. These zonal anomalies may reflect regional geological structures that follow the same trends as the Oita–Kumamoto Tectonic Line and Usuki–Yatsushiro Tectonic Line. While the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake rupture mainly propagated through a low-Vp/Vs area (1.62–1.74) along the Hinagu fault zone, the southern termination of the earthquake at the focal depth of the mainshock is adjacent to a 3-km-diameter high-Vp/Vs body. There is a rapid 5-km step in the depth of the seismogenic layer across the E–W-trending velocity boundary between the low- and high-Vp/Vs areas that corresponds well with the Rokkoku Tectonic Line; this geological boundary is the likely cause of the dislocation of the seismogenic layer because it is intruded by serpentinite veins. A possible factor in the southern rupture termination of the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake is the existence of a high-Vp/Vs body in the direction of southern rupture propagation. The provided details of this inhomogeneous barrier, which are inferred from the seismic velocity structures, may improve future seismic hazard assessments for a complex fault system composed of multiple segments.

Direct Interpretation

Due to no requirement for direct interpretation of the guided wave signal, probability-based diagnostic imaging (PDI) algorithm is especially suitable for damage identification of complex composite structures. However, the weight distribution function of PDI algorithm is relatively inaccurate. It can reduce the damage localization accuracy. In order to improve the damage localization accuracy, an improved PDI algorithm is proposed. In the proposed algorithm, the weight distribution function is corrected by the acquired relative distances from defects to all actuator–sensor pairs and the reduction of the weight distribution areas. The validity of the proposed algorithm is assessed by identifying damages at different locations on a stiffened composite panel. The results show that the proposed algorithm can identify damage of a stiffened composite panel accurately.

Mode Decomposition

In this article, multivariate empirical mode decomposition is proposed for damage localization in structures using limited measurements. Multivariate empirical mode decomposition is first used to decompose the acceleration responses into their mono-component modal responses. The major contributing modal responses are then used to evaluate the modal energy for the respective modes. A damage localization feature is proposed by calculating the percentage difference in the modal energies of damaged and undamaged structures, followed by the determination of the threshold value of the feature. The feature of the specific sensor location exceeding the threshold value is finally used to identify the location of structural damage. The proposed method is validated using a suite of numerical and full-scale studies. The validation is further explored using various limited measurement cases for evaluating the feasibility of using a fewer number of sensors to enable cost-effective structural health monitoring. The results show the capability of the proposed method in identifying as minimal as 2% change in global modal parameters of structures, outperforming the existing time–frequency methods to delineate such minor global damage.

The shallow features extracted by the traditional artificial intelligence algorithm-based damage identification methods pose low sensitivity and ignore the timing characteristics of vibration signals. Thus, this study uses the high-dimensional feature extraction advantages of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and the time series modeling capability of long short-term memory networks (LSTM) to identify damage to long-span bridges. Firstly, the features extracted by CNN and LSTM are fused as the input of the fully connected layer to train the CNN-LSTM model. After that, the trained CNN-LSTM model is employed for damage identification. Finally, a numerical example of a large-span suspension bridge was carried out to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Furthermore, the performance of CNN-LSTM and CNN under different noise levels was compared to test the feasibility of application in practical engineering. The results demonstrate the following: (1) the combination of CNN and LSTM is satisfactory with 94% of the damage localization accuracy and only 8.0% of the average relative identification error (ARIE) of damage severity identification; (2) in comparison to the CNN, the CNN-LSTM results in superior identification accuracy; the damage localization accuracy is improved by 8.13%, while the decrement of ARIE of damage severity identification is 5.20%; and (3) the proposed method is capable of resisting the influence of environmental noise and acquires an acceptable recognition effect for multi-location damage; in a database with a lower signal-to-noise ratio of 3.33, the damage localization accuracy of the CNN-LSTM model is 67.06%, and the ARIE of the damage severity identification is 31%. This work provides an innovative idea for damage identification of long-span bridges and is conducive to promote follow-up studies regarding structural condition evaluation.
