seismic piezocone device (scptu) together with resonant column and cyclic triaxial test apparatus are employed to measure small strain shear modulus (g0) of carbonate sandy and clayey soils of southern coasts of iran. a large area of southern regions of iran is formed from clay, silt and sand. in this study, maximum shear modulus that is derived from both field (by seismic piezocone) and labora...

Kinematic equations for the motion of slowly propagating, weakly curved fronts in bistable media are derived. The equations generalize earlier derivations where algebraic relations between the normal front velocity and its curvature are assumed. Such relations do not capture the dynamics near nonequilibrium Ising-Bloch (NIB) bifurcations, where transitions between counterpropagating Bloch front...

An approximation technique is considered for computing transmission and reflection coefficients for propagation of an elastic pulse through a planar slab of finite width. The propagation of elastic pulse through a planar slab is derived from first principles using straightforward time-dependent method. The paper ends with calculations of enhancement factor for the elastic plane wave and it is s...

The present study is concerned with the variational principle and plane wave propagation in double porous thermoelastic infinite medium. Lord-Shulman theory [2] of thermoelasticity with one relaxation time has been used to investigate the problem. It is found that for two dimensional model, there exists four coupled longitudinal waves namely longitudinal wave (P), longitudinal thermal wave (T),...

A numerical study is performed to investigate nonlinear processes during internal wave generation by the oscillation of a background barotropic tide over a sloping bottom. The focus is on the near-critical case where the slope angle is equal to the natural internal wave propagation angle and, consequently, there is a resonant wave response that leads to an intense boundary flow. The resonant wa...

The travel times and amplitude spectrums of firstand later-arrival P phases from the Salmon event are computed on the basis of polarization filter outputs. The interpretation of the P wave radiation field is made in terms of crust and mantle structure using the firstand later-arrival P phases and their amplitude spectrums. The observed seismic field corresponds with that expected from a symmetr...

An approximation technique is considered for computing transmission and reflection coefficients for plane waves propagating through stratified slabs. The propagation of elastic pulse through a planar slab is derived from first principles using straightforward time-dependent method. The paper ends with calculations of enhancement factor for the elastic plane wave and it is shown that it depends ...

this paper describes the effects of induced magnetic field and partial slip on the peristaltic flow of a couple stress fluids in an asymmetric channel. the two dimensional equation of couple stress fluid are simplified by making the assumptions of long wave length and low reynolds number. the exact solutions of reduced momentum equation and magnetic force function have been computed in wave fra...
