in this paper some new applications of empirical mode decomposition (emd) and hilbert spectrum in seismic ground-roll attenuation, random noise attenuation and spectral decomposition are introduced. hilbert spectrum is a time-frequency representation for hilbert-huang transform which is obtained by combination of instantaneous frequency (if) concept and intrinsic mode function of empirical mode...

in many seismological applications, the earth is considered as a perfectly elastic, homogeneous, and isotropic body. although this assumption is approximately valid, it is known that seismic waves pass through the real earth that is anelastic, inhomogeneous and anisotropic.  we consider four processes that can reduce wave amplitude, i.e.: geometrical spreading, scattering, multi-pathing, and an...

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...

in the present study, the q factor is obtained for the central alborz in iran using the lg coda method. the energy of a seismic wave decays while passing through a ‘real’ medium such as the earth which is not completely elastic. the decay in energy is due to non-elastic phenomena and is called intrinsic attenuation and is characterized with the q parameter, the large values of which represent s...
