Shear wave statics using receiver functions

Shear Wave Velocity Models Beneath Antarctic Margins Inverted by Genetic Algorithm for Teleseismic Receiver Functions

Shear-Wave Dynamic Behavior using Two Different Orientations

For laterally complex media, it may be more suitable to take a different orientation of thedisplacement vector of Shear-waves. This may change the sign of several imaginary reflections andconversion coefficients to be used in reservoir characterization and AVO (Amplitude Versus Offset)analysis or modeling. In this new convention the positive direction of the displacement vector ofreflected Shea...

Joint Inversion of Receiver Functions and Surface-wave Dispersion

Teleseismic P-wave receiver functions and surface-wave dispersion measurements can be employed to simultaneously infer the shear-wave velocity distribution with depth in the lithosphere. Receiver functions are primarily sensitive to shear-wave velocity contrasts and vertical travel times and surface-wave dispersion measurements are sensitive to vertical shear-wave velocity averages, so that the...

Complex Shear Modulus Reconstruction Using Ultrasound Shear - Wave Imaging

Many pathological processes in tissues are recognized by morphological changes that reflect alterations of the soft tissue mechanical properties. Ultrasound shear-wave imaging can provide quantitative information about soft tissue mechanical properties, specifically the complex shear modulus. Advancing this field has the potential to bridge molecular, cellular, and tissue biology and to influen...

Shear wave speed and dispersion measurements using crawling wave chirps.

This article demonstrates the measurement of shear wave speed and shear speed dispersion of biomaterials using a chirp signal that launches waves over a range of frequencies. A biomaterial is vibrated by two vibration sources that generate shear waves inside the medium, which is scanned by an ultrasound imaging system. Doppler processing of the acquired signal produces an image of the square of...
