In seismology, strong ground motion is the strong earthquake shaking that occurs close to (less than about 50 km from) a causative fault. The strength of the shaking involved in strong ground motion usually overwhelms a seismometer, forcing the use of accelerographs (or strong ground motion accelerometers) for recording. The science of strong ...
Pelton becomes upset over the group forcing him to sell his hand and leaves the RV. Abed joins Pelton with the giant hand on the RV's roof. As they sit there, the straps suddenly slip. Pelton panics, but Abed uses a flashback to imagine himself convincing the group to use thicker straps. This does not change the current situation, though, and ...
Ground vibrations is a technical term that is being used to describe mostly man-made vibrations of the ground, in contrast to natural vibrations of the Earth studied by seismology. For example, vibrations caused by explosions, construction works, railway and road transport, etc. - all belong to ground vibrations.
Watch: Car shakes violently as earthquake strikes California. A home camera video from Humboldt County captured a car shaking violently as the earthquake struck on the San Andreas fault, which ...
Scuttle shake (sometimes called cowl shake in the US) is the term used for the phenomenon experienced in many convertible or open top automobiles where, due to lower structural rigidity caused by the lack of a roof, the middle section of the chassis flexes, causing the bulkhead in front of the passenger compartment to move and vibrate when the vehicle is subject to uneven road surfaces.
The driver of the RV was taken to a hospital in critical condition. ... Driver injured when RV hits house, starts fire in southwest Fort Worth. Lillie Davidson. January 10, 2025 at 5:09 PM.
In occupational safety and health, hand arm vibrations (HAVs) are a specific type of occupational hazard which can lead to hand–arm vibration syndrome (HAVS). HAVS, also known as vibration white finger ( VWF ) or dead finger , [ 1 ] is a secondary form of Raynaud's syndrome , an industrial injury triggered by continuous use of vibrating hand ...
A residual-current device (RCD), residual-current circuit breaker (RCCB) or ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) [a] is an electrical safety device, more specifically a form of Earth-leakage circuit breaker, that interrupts an electrical circuit when the current passing through line and neutral conductors of a circuit is not equal (the term residual relating to the imbalance), therefore ...
