Higher quality shear wave velocity has been pursuing since its importance in multicomponent exploration. To better monitoring CO2 sequestration, shear wave velocity (Vs) is needed to implement elastic numerical study on the target reservoir. A number of shear wave velocity estimation methods and their corresponding comprehensive comparison are presented in this article. The survey is situated i...

Background Pressure waves distributed through the aorta by left ventricular contraction propagate at a rate known as the pulse wave velocity (PWV). PWV is a measure of aortic stiffness, and increased PWV has been correlated with increased coronary artery disease risk. PWV can be measured by velocity-encoded magnetic resonance (PCMR), with velocity profiles collected at a minimum of two location...

Rayleigh-wave phase velocity of a layered earth model is a function of frequency and four groups of earth properties: Pwave velocity, S-wave velocity (Vs), density, and thickness of layers. Analysis of the Jacobian matrix (or the difference method) provides a measure of dispersion curve sensitivity to earth properties. Vs is the dominant influence for the fundamental mode (Xia et al., 1999) and...

based on the standards for design of structures, any structure should be designated for seismic loads and any combinations containing seismic loads. for spectral analysis of a structure, the site effect is taken into account by considering its effects on the design spectra. because of different lateral and vertical stiffness of the soil layers underneath the structure, the design spectra are di...

by growing the population and need for settlement, many cities have been built on soft sediments and seismic areas. it emphasizes the need for a careful and reliable assessment of site effect phenomena. beyond the methods of studying site effects, microtremor recordings has become popular over the last decades as it offers a convenient, practical and low cost tool to be used in urbanized areas....

A resonance between long and short waves will occur if the phase velocity of the long wave matches the group velocity of the short wave. In this paper, a system with two distinct packets of short waves in resonance with a common long wave is studied. Breather solutions are calculated by the Hirota bilinear method, and rogue wave modes (unexpectedly large displacements from an otherwise calm bac...
