The pioneer study of simulating the wave field in media with irregular interface belongs to Aki and Larner.Since that many numerical methods on the subject have been developed,such as pure numerical techniques,ray method and boundary method.The boundary method based on boundary integral equation is a semi-analytical method which is suitable to modeling wave field induced by irregular border.According to the property of the applied Green's function the boundary methods can be sorted into space domain boundary method and wavenumber domain boundary method.For both of them it is necessary to solve a large equation,which means much computation is needed.Thus,it is difficult for the boundary methods to be applied in simulating wave field with high frequency or in large range.To develop a new method with less computation is meaningful.For this purpose,localized boundary integral equation,i.e.,discrete wavenumber method is proposed.It is rooted in the Bouchon-Campillo method,an important wavenumber domain boundary method.Firstly the force on interface is separated into two parts:one is on flat part and the other on irregular part of the interface.Then Fourier transform is applied to identify their relation,the unknown distributes only on irregular part.Consequently computation efficiency is dramatically improved.Importantly its accuracy is the same as that of Bouchon-Campillo.
This paper proposes that on the basis of near-source saturation characteristic of ground motion, the peak ground motion acceleration and the acceleration response spectra of diffuse earthquakes affecting the nuclear facility site can be determined by the statistic method. In view of the problem of insufficient statistic samples due to fewer qualified strong earthquake records on the bedrock site, it also proposes that according to the features of ground motion response of the soil, the acceleration records on the soil site can be transformed into the equivalent acceleration records on rock site for a simultaneous statistic analysis together with the records on rock site. Consequently, we have obtained by this method the near-source peak acceleration and the acceleration response spectra of small and moderate earthquakes on the site that could meet the need of nuclear facility and made a comparative analysis to the results from relevant researches. This new method for determining diffuse earthquakes is only preliminarily verified in the paper and further research is needed for practical application.
