dust acoustic (da) solitary waves are investigated in an unmagnetized dusty plasma comprising of fluid warm dust particles and kappa distributed ions. we assume the electron number density to be sufficiently depleted in this fluid model, i.e., ne  nd . we consider the usual ad hoc damping term, involving the damping rate  due to the dust–neutral collisions; and derived the modified dis...

In practice, the reflected EM signal cannot be clearly observed in GPR data due to high water content and other reasons. However, antenna coupling through ground interface is dominated all measurements. This direct that travels called a lateral wave. The properties of wave directly depend on subsurface properties, especially electrical parameters. We have numerically analyzed its velocity. Subs...

contrary to the long period ground motions that can be predicted and estimated, high frequency ground motions have random character and behave stochastically. stochastic modeling methods are usually used for the modeling of high frequency ground motions where there are not strong ground motion records. stochastic methods are of two kinds: in the first one, the seismic source is considered as a ...

the liquefaction resistance of soil can be evaluated using laboratory tests such as cyclic simple shear, cyclic triaxial, cyclic torsional shear as well as field methods like standard penetration test (spt), cone penetration test (cpt) and shear wave velocity (vs). in this regard, this study attempts to compare the results of the spt based on the simplified procedure proposed by seed and idriss...
