Abstract

The Fourier amplitude spectrum of acceleration will drop rapidly in the high frequency range. Anderson and Hough quantitatively studied the attenuation law of the acceleration Fourier spectrum above the corner frequency, and proposed the high-frequency attenuation parameter Kappa ( ) to describe this phenomenon. It has important applications in the field of engineering earthquakes, and is widely used by seismologists and engineers in the work of ground motion simulation and attenuation relations. Based on the Anderson method, this paper proposed a method of first smoothing the Fourier acceleration spectrum with a 0.4 Hz Parzen window and then fitting the solution value. The Fukushima earthquake data from Japan’s KiK-net seismic network on February 13, 2021 was used to verify the reliability of the method. The results showed that when the width of the Parzen window was set to 0.4 Hz, the calculation accuracy of the value was effectively improved.
