Rapid Estimation of Earthquake Magnitude and Source Parameters Using Genetic Algorithms (original) (raw)
2021, Applied Sciences
To minimize the impacts of large losses and optimize the emergency response when a large earthquake occurs, an accurate early warning of an earthquake or tsunami is crucial. One important parameter that can provide an accurate early warning is the earthquake’s magnitude. This study proposes a method for estimating the magnitude, and some of the source parameters, of an earthquake using genetic algorithms (GAs). In this study, GAs were used to perform an inversion of Okada’s model from earthquake displacement data. In the first stage of the experiment, the GA was used to inverse the displacement calculated from the forward calculation in Okada’s model. The best performance of the GA was obtained by tuning the hyperparameters to obtain the most functional configuration. In the second stage, the inversion method was tested on GPS time series data from the 2011 Tohoku Oki earthquake. The earthquake’s displacement was first estimated from GPS time series data using a detection and estima...

Control and Optimization Against Earthquake by Using Genetic Algorithm
Journal of Applied Engineering Sciences, 2018
In this paper, controlling and optimizing against the earthquake by using genetic algorithm is investigated. In this paper, a new approach for selecting optimal accelerograph and scaling them for dynamic time history analysis is presented by the binary genetic algorithm and natural numbers, in order to achieve the mean response spectrum, which has a proper matching and a short distance with the target spectrum and indicates the expected earthquake of the site. Because of the difference in the nature of accelerograph and the scale coefficients, the genetic algorithm presented in this paper, is hybrid (has two chromosomes). The proposed algorithm is capable of constructing a new generation of people from a series of infinitesimal earth movement records, in a process where natural selection, mating, mutation takes place, and creates a new generation of people and continues this process until a person with desirable qualities is obtained. One of the most important factors in the accurac...
