A problem of reflection and transmission of a plane shear wave incident at a corrugated interface between transversely isotropic inhomogeneous and visco-elastic half-spaces is investigated. Applying appropriate boundary conditions and using Rayleigh’s method of approximation expressions for reflection and transmission coefficients are obtained for the first and second order approximation of the...

we usewe use ml shear wave velocity to derive a high resolution 2d ml shear wave velocity map for the iranian plateau. the ml amplitudes and arrival times are routinely measured for the calculation of local magnitude. ml shear wave velocity is very sensitive to the lateral change of crustal thickness and switches between the velocity of lg and sn waves. an lg wave will die out as soon as encoun...

We analyze the dynamics of a relativistic particle moving in a uniform magnetic field and perturbed by a standing electrostatic wave. We show that a pulsed wave produces an infinite number of perturbative terms with the same winding number, which may generate islands in the same region of phase space. As a consequence, the number of isochronous island chains varies as a function of the wave par...

In an absorbing medium, where the vector W5]v/]k usually is complex for real values of the wave vector k, the group velocity W may become real for some complex values of k. The role of real group velocity in the propagation of one-dimensional wave packets in homogeneous absorbing media is examined. Applying the saddle point method to an analysis of the asymptotic behavior of the Gaussian wave p...

in this paper, the coupled dispersive (2+1)-dimensional long wave equation is studied. the traveling wave hypothesis yields complexiton solutions. subsequently, the wave equation is studied with power law nonlinearity where the ansatz method is applied to yield solitary wave solutions. the constraint conditions for the existence of solitons naturally fall out of the derivation of the soliton so...

We use the bifurcation method of dynamical systems to study the periodic wave solutions and their limits for the generalized KP-BBM equation. A number of explicit periodic wave solutions are obtained. These solutions contain smooth periodic wave solutions and periodic blow-up solutions. Their limits contain periodic wave solutions, kink wave solutions, unbounded wave solutions, blow-up wave sol...

A new transient regime in the relaxation towards absolute equilibrium of the conservative and time-reversible 3D Euler equation with a high-wave-number spectral truncation is characterized. Large-scale dissipative effects, caused by the thermalized modes that spontaneously appear between a transition wave number and the maximum wave number, are calculated using fluctuation dissipation relations...

The aqueous electrochemistry of a number of anthraquinone derivatives was studied by using cyclic voltammetry at the surface of carbon paste electrode (CPE). From measurements of the half-wave potential as a function of pH, the potential - pH diagrams were constructed for each compound. The values of formal potentials and the pK'a of some different redox and acid-base couples inv...
