House-collapsing simulation is an effective method for acquiring structural data regarding collapsed houses with the aim of understanding the properties of destroyed or disordered structures for designing and operating urban search and rescue (USAR) robots. The purpose of this study is to find an appropriate configuration of computer hardware and software that can accelerate house-collapsing simulations...
The paper presents an approach to an engineering of “gareki”, which generally means destroyed or disordered structures in Japanese. Gareki has never been a subject for both natural sciences and engineering. Therefore we have had less scientific knowledge about gareki, while search and rescue activities in earthquake disasters need it much. The first part of the paper discusses what to be studied about...
