The inclusion of amplitude constraints in body-wave inversions allows the separation of earth models which seem indistinguishable on the basis of traveltime observations. Amplitude constraints can be included through the calculation of synthetic seismograms by the quantized ray theory formulation. As an example, a preliminary model for the velocity structure of the upper mantle beneath part of ...

The study of surface waves in a layered media has their viable application in geophysical prospecting. This paper presents an analytical study on the dispersion of torsional surface wave in a pre-stressed heterogeneous layer sandwiched between a pre-stressed anisotropic porous semi-infinite medium and gravitating anisotropic porous half-space. The non-homogeneity within the intermediate layer a...

In this work, attempts are made to study the dispersion of Love waves in dry sandy layer sandwiched between fiber reinforced layer and inhomogeneous half space.Inhomogeneity in half space associated with density and rigidity and considered in exponential form. Displacement components for fiber reinforced layer, dry sandy layer and inhomogeneous half-space have been obtained by using method of s...

S U M M A R Y Rayleigh wave group velocity dispersion measurements from local and regional earthquakes are used to interpret the lithospheric structure in the Gulf of California region. We compute group velocity maps for Rayleigh waves from 10 to 150 s using earthquakes recorded by broadband stations of the Network of Autonomously Recording Seismographs in Baja California and Mexico mainland, U...

Asymptotically exact and nonlocal third order nonlinear evolution equations are derivedfor two counterpropagating surface capillary gravity wave packets in deep water in thepresence of wind flowing over water.From these evolution equations stability analysis ismade for a uniform standing surface capillary gravity wave trains for longitudinal perturbation. Instability condition is obtained and g...

‎the water wave generation by wave paddle and a freely falling rigid body are examined by using an incompressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics (isph)‎. ‎in the current isph method‎, ‎the pressure was evaluated by solving pressure poisson equation using a semi-implicit algorithm based on the projection scheme and the source term of pressure poisson equation contains both of divergence free ve...

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...

the liquefaction resistance of soil can be evaluated using laboratory tests such as cyclic simple shear, cyclic triaxial, cyclic torsional shear as well as field methods like standard penetration test (spt), cone penetration test (cpt) and shear wave velocity (vs). in this regard, this study attempts to compare the results of the spt based on the simplified procedure proposed by seed and idriss...
