Technology can help buildings resist earthquakes
Mathematicians at the University of Manchester (UK) say the 'elastic waves' of earthquakes can be diverted around an object, similar to the way waves move in recent experiments. .
Dr. William Parnell believes that the application of pressurized rubber to the construction structures of nuclear power plants, high voltage towers and public buildings ... can help protect these buildings from damage. Earthquake damage, while reducing the number of deaths due to this disaster in the future.
Technology can help buildings resist earthquakes
He says science has made important advances both in theory and practice in the field of stealth. For instance, researchers at Cornell University have demonstrated a technology that can 'hide' time periods in 2011 by light transitions. And experts at the University of Texas have been stealthing an object before the light of X-rays. "Five to six years ago, scientists began working on light waves and in recent years we Considering other waves, the most important is perhaps sound waves and elastic waves. We have demonstrated in theory that reinforcement of a material available in nature, such as rubber, can produce a 'stealth effect' from a specific elastic wave. " said Parnell.
Parnell says that if the theory of directional control technology and the velocity of elastic waves can be applied to larger objects, it could help to create a cover that protects buildings and structures. Important parts of the building from earthquakes.
