in this paper we are going to show the importance of mode identification in microtremor array analysis. the idea come from four concentric ambient noise array recordings with aperture 100 to 1000 meters, performed in southern urban area of tehran near the shrine of imam khomeini. these measurements were part of a comprehensive research project with the aim of determination of deep shear wave ve...

doppler ultrasound can provide important information about vascular problems through the analysis of blood flow wave-form. the purpose of this study was obtaining the normal images of color doppler and estimation of blood flow velocity parameters of femoral artery in rabbits. left and right femoral arteries of 8 healthy adult new zealand rabbits were evaluated. color and spectral doppler images...

Rocks are far from being isotropic and elastic. Such simplifications in modeling the seismic response of real geological structures may lead to misinterpretations, or even worse, to overlooking useful information. It is useless to develop highly accurate modeling algorithms or to naively use amplitude information in inversion processes if the stress-strain relations are based on simplified rheo...

We present a method of calculation to simulate the propagation of acoustic and elastic waves generated by a borehole source embedded in a layered medium. The method is formulated as a boundary element technique where the Green's functions are calculated by the discrete wavenumber method. The restrictive assumptions are that the borehole is cylindrical and that its axis runs normal to the layer ...

This paper introduces an optical measurement system for shock wave characteristics. The system works by mountinga metal plate attached to spring mounts against the shock wavefront. This set is sealed and can plot the shock wave pressure diagram by measuring plate's displacement, radiation and changing the reflection of light during shock wave conflict, and converting these optical data to volta...

background: both increased arterial stiffness and hyperuricaemia are associated with elevated cardiovascular risks. little is known about the relations of serum uric acid (ua) level to regional arterial stiffness and wave reflection. the aim of the study was to investigate the gender-specific association of serum ua and indices of arterial function in a community-based investigation in china. m...

Shear and Compressional Wave Velocities along with other Petrophysical Logs, are considered as upmost important data for Hydrocarbon reservoirs characterization. Shear Wave Velocity (Vs) in Well Logging is commonly measured by some sort of Dipole Logging Tools, which are able to acquire Shear Waves as well as Compressional Waves such as Sonic Scanner, DSI (Dipole Shear Sonic imager) by Schlumbe...

in this paper the propagation of harmonic plane waves in a homogeneous anisotropic magneto-piezothermoelastic diffusive body with fractional order derivative is studied. the governing equations for a homogeneous transversely isotropic body in the context of the theory of thermoelasticity with diffusion given by sherief et al. [1] are considered as a special case. it is found that three types of...

We have studied the formation of relativistic solitary waves due to nonlinearinteraction of strong electromagnetic wave with the plasma wave. Here, our plasma isrelativistic both in temperature and in streaming speed. A set of equations consisting ofscalar and vector potentials together with a third order equation for the enthalpy inphoton gas plasma is obtained analytic...
