it is very important to study and simulate s-wave structure for near surface (alluvium parts, in particular) owing to its direct relationship to urban facilities in geotechnical and earthquake engineering studies. so, in seismic microzonation, the first step is to study and identify s-wave pattern in alluvium in order to categorize different parts of cites according to s-wave velocity. current ...

We study incremental wave propagation for what is seemingly the simplest boundary value problem, namely that constitued by the plane interface of a semi-infinite solid. With a view to model loaded elastomers and soft tissues, we focus on incompressible solids, subjected to large homogeneous static deformations. The resulting strain-induced anisotropy complicates matters for the incremental boun...

Shear wave velocity (Vs) data are key information for petrophysical, geophysical and geomechanical studies. Although compressional wave velocity (Vp) measurements exist in almost all wells, shear wave velocity is not recorded for most of elderly wells due to lack of technologic tools. Furthermore, measurement of shear wave velocity is to some extent costly. This study proposes a novel methodolo...

background: we sought to assess right ventricular (rv) systolic and diastolic functions via tissue doppler imaging (tdi) in order to discriminate right-to-left (bidirectional) from left-to-right intracardiac shunts. methods: a tissue doppler velocity study via doppler echocardiography was performed in 20 patients with left-to-right shunt (without evidence of significant pulmonary hypertension) ...

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 velocity data of seismic waves in a region has an important role in locating occurred events. information such as velocity ratio of vp/vs and velocity curves for pg, pn, sg, and sn phases directly affect the locating results. it is well known that the vp/vs ratio can be used to predict lithology, and that s-waves are sensitive to microcracks aligned by the present day stress field. also, th...

We solve a problem of fluid dynamics in an arbitrarSignificant progress has been made in the quantitative ily shaped fracture containing proppant. The fracture modeling of the dynamic interaction of a fracture with is embedded in an absolutely rigid solid. The fluid flow surrounding elastic rock. Using the finite-difference method, is induced by normal harmonic oscillations of fracture Chouet (...

the present paper studies the possibility of propagation of torsional surface waves in an inhomogeneous anisotropic layer lying between two heterogeneous half-spaces (upper and lower half-space). both the half-spaces are assumed to be under compressive initial stress. the study reveals that under the assumed conditions, a torsional surface wave propagates in the medium. the dispersion relation ...
