VELOCITY FIELDS IN THE WAVE BKsAKka ZONK

seismic wave velocity in the tehran seismic network region

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...

A Study of the Wave Propagation Velocity in Granular Soils Using Discrete Element Method (DEM)

In the present paper, discrete element method (DEM) is used to study wave propagation phenomenon in granular soils. The effect of factors such as coefficient of friction, frequency, normal stiffness and soil gradation on the wave velocity is studied. Using the wall motion based on the sinusoidal function is the method of loading used in this simulation, through which the pressure wave is transf...

Breaking Wave Velocity Estimation

Pulse wave velocity measurement

The article deals with the investigation of pulse wave propagation in arteries. A part of work involves also design and realization of devices serving for scanning of pulse wave by reflective photoplethysmography. The work describes a use of microcontroller serving for data flow control, communication and analog signal digitalization using integrated analog to digital converter.

Pulse Wave Analysis and Pulse Wave Velocity

momanometer that provides arterial pressures (brachial systolic and diastolic pressure) is coming under question. The concerns extend well beyond the familiar issue of “white coat” hypertension, home and 24-h blood pressure recordings, and the phase-out of mercury based instruments. These concerns relate to the inaccuracy of all cuff devices for measuring pressure within the brachial artery, th...
