S U M M A R Y We derive the explicit expressions for the phase velocities and polarizations of quasi-shear waves propagating in a transversely isotropic medium. The normal to the plane defined by the phase normal and the symmetry axis gives the exact polarization of S1, while the polarization of S2 also depends on the elastic parameters of the medium and is thus more complicated. Therefore, we ...

In this study, different methods for shell splitting and the effect of freezing prior to drying on shell splitting percentage of pistachio were investigated. A completely randomized design was used to investigate the effects of different freezing temperatures (0, -6, -12 and -18°C), different drying temperatures (80, 90 and 100°C) and different cultivars (Akbari and Kalehghouchi) on shell split...
