Stress waves contain useful information about the properties of porous materials; they can be recovered through different non-destructive testing methods such as crosswell, vertical seismic profile, borehole logging as well as sonic tests. In all these methods, it is crucial to assess the effects of frequency on wave attributes including velocity and intrinsic attenuation. The dependency of per...

Special features of surface gravity waves in deep fluid flow with constant vertical shear of velocity is studied. It is found that the mean flow velocity shear leads to non-trivial modification of surface gravity wave modes dispersive characteristics. Moreover, the shear induces generation of surface gravity waves by internal vortex mode perturbations. The performed analytical and numerical stu...

Abstract Introduction: neuropathy is a condition in which the peripheral nervous system is disrupted. The study of the effects of antioxidants on the performance improvement of this system is vital. This study was aimed at the investigation of the effects of date extract on nerve conduction velocity, distal latency, and wave height of the sciatic nerve in male rats. Materials and Methods: thi...

Shear-wave velocity is an indication of the shear strength of the ground since the velocity is related to the shear modulus. Therefore, monitoring the velocities is useful for site characterization and disaster prevention. We estimate the time-lapse change in shear-wave velocity as well as shear-wave splitting in the shallow subsurface throughout Japan by applying seismic interferometry to the ...

amplitudes of seismic waves decrease with distance according to anelastic properties of the earth and geometrical spreading. the attenuation of ground-motion amplitudes in the frequency domain is an important problem in engineering seismology. it is of particular practical interest in the regions such as zagros (iran). the zagros fold- thrust belt, as a part of alpine- himalayan orogenic belt i...

shear wave velocity is a basic engineering tool required to define dynamic properties of soils. in many instances it may be preferable to determine vs indirectly by common in-situ tests, such as the standard penetration test. many empirical correlations based on the standard penetration test are broadly classified as regression techniques. however, no rigorous procedure has been published for c...

The shear wave velocity is one of a few important parameters that characterize the mechanical properties of bio-materials. In this paper, two noninvasive methods are proposed to measure the shear velocity by inspecting the shear wave interference patterns. In one method, two shear wave sources are placed on the opposite two sides of a sample, driven by the identical sinusoidal signals. The shea...
