We report experiments on high-amplitude sound wave propagation in an acoustic metamaterial composed of air-filled waveguide periodically side-loaded by holes. In addition to the linear viscothermal and radiation losses, high amplitude waves at locations side holes introduce nonlinear losses. The latter result amplitude-dependent reflection, transmission, absorption, which we experimentally char...

[1] An Earth tide signal at the lunar tidal period of 12 hours 25 min has been detected in the Sagnac frequency record of the C-II ring laser 30 m underground at Christchurch, New Zealand. Its amplitude, one part per million of the Earth rotation signal, is much greater than the value of 40 parts per billion expected. Tiltmeter records show that a substantial part of this amplification is geoph...

To reduce the damages of aeolian vibration of conductors to the power transmission networks, the most common method is installation of Stock-bridge dampers. Estimation of the damper’s dissipated energy is an important factor in determining the number and location of installation of these types of vibration absorbers. This estimation is strongly dependent upon the assumed mode shape of the condu...

based on the convolutional model, a seismic trace is the convolution of seismic source wavelet and reflection coefficient series of the earth. seismic source wavelet estimation is one of the most important stages in processing and interpretation of seismic data. accurate estimation of wavelet increases the efficiency of the deconvolution and temporal resolution of seismic data. on the other han...
