Shear-Wave Dynamic Behavior using Two Different Orientations

Authors

Abstract:

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 Shear-waves is chosen to the left of ray tangent (in the direction of wave propagation).Therefore, the definition of the displacement vector of shear-waves can be used properly even forvery complicated media. Finally the shear-wave dynamic behavior of a reservoir zone can beillustrated for laterally varying structures in terms of the amplitude variation and phase behavior usingthis new orientation.

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...

Shear wave speed recovery in sonoelastography using crawling wave data.

The crawling wave experiment, in which two harmonic sources oscillate at different but nearby frequencies, is a development in sonoelastography that allows real-time imaging of propagating shear wave interference patterns. Previously the crawling wave speed was recovered and used as an indicator of shear stiffness; however, it is shown in this paper that the crawling wave speed image can have a...

Shear Wave Speed Estimation Using Reverberant Shear Wave Fields: Implementation and Feasibility Studies.

Elastography is a modality that estimates tissue stiffness and, thus, provides useful information for clinical diagnosis. Attention has focused on the measurement of shear wave propagation; however, many methods assume shear wave propagation is unidirectional and aligned with the lateral imaging direction. Any deviations from the assumed propagation result in biased estimates of shear wave spee...

Robotic Behavior Implementation Using Two Different Differential Evolution Variants

In Evolutionary Robotics (ER), Bioinspired Algorithms are used to generate robotic behavior. Several researchers used classic Genetic Algorithms (GA) or adaptations of GAs for developing experiments in ER. Here, we use Differential Evolution (DE) as an evolutionary alternative method to automatically obtain robotic behaviors, selecting a wall-following behavior as a representative example. We u...

Comparison of using Different Modeling Techniques on the Prediction of the Nonlinear Behavior of R/C Shear Walls

Abstract: Reinforced concrete shear walls have been used throughout the world as known resisting elements for the lateral wind and earthquake loads. They are mostly designed and constructed based on elastic calculations and therefore resulting in un-economical sections. In order to overcome this weakness, scientists have proposed different methodologies to account for the non linear behavior of...
