Decoupling elastic waves and its applications

Elastic Complex Analysis and Its Applications in Fracture Mechanics

The key point in this paper is the introduction of elastic analytic functions. An elastic analytic function is a function of the form u : C ! C 2 which is diierentiable and satisses equations which are analogous to the Cauchy-Riemann equations of traditional complex analysis such that the following conditions hold: rst the real and imaginary part of the rst complex component of u satisfy the Na...

Benford Distribution and its Applications

‎This papers considers the Benford distribution as one the interesting rules of probability theory‎. ‎This rule shows that‎, ‎despite of usual underestanding about the uniform distribution of digites‎ ‎for lieing on different positions in numbers‎, ‎digits are distributed according to an non uniform distributions for numbers araising from many natural phonemena‎. ‎Benford distribution proposes ...

Space - Time Spectral Analysis and its Applications to Atmospheric Waves

Space-time spectral analysis methods and their applications to large-scale atmospheric waves are reviewed. Space-time spectral analysis resolves transient waves into eastward and westward moving components and is mathematically analogous to rotary spectral analysis which resolves twodimensional velocity vectors into clockwise and anticlockwise components. Space-time spectral analysis can also r...

Elastic waves in helical waveguides

Simultaneous Use of Elastic and Electromagnetic Waves

A hybrid technique has been developed that uses both electromagnetic and elastic waves in a synergistic manner to detect buried land mines. The system consists of a moving electromagnetic radar and a stationary elastic-wave source. The source generates elastic waves in the earth. These waves interact with the buried mine and cause both the mine and the earth to be displaced. Because the mechani...
