The coalescence of two neutron stars is an important gravitational wave source for LIGO and other detectors. Numerous studies have considered the precision with which binary parameters (masses, spins, Love numbers) can be measured. Here I consider the accuracy with which these parameters can be determined in the presence of systematic errors due to waveform approximations. These approximations ...

Abstract With amplitude ratio of two different types ground motion, the information phase velocity could be reflected in frequency-dependent assumption plane-wave propagation. In this paper, we test possibility determining local Love waves dispersion properties using transverse and strain measurement. seismic wave recording four-component borehole strainmeters built at Balun station Xinjiang, C...

1. introduction persian folktales and literary stories are full of love relationships which add to the structural richness of the story. in most of these stories, love commences on part of the male character. however, there are instances in which women or girls initiate love. these kinds of love create adventures which are admirable in themselves. the commencement of love and the way a lover es...

All mechanical systems exhibit vibrational response when exposed to exter-nal disturbances. In many engineering applications vibrations are undesir-able and may even have harmful effects. Therefore, control of mechanicalvibration is an important topic and extensive research has been going on inthe field over the years.In active control of vibration, the ability to actuate th...

Thermoacoustics describes energy conversion processes, activated by interaction temperature oscillation, accompanying the pressure oscillation in a sound wave, with solid boundaries. In ordinary experience this interaction of sound and heat cannot be observed, because of the very low temperature differences, but under suitable conditions, it can be emphasized and amplified to create remarkable ...

This paper investigates the feasibility of site characterization via spectral analysis of horizontally-polarized shear (SH) waves as a means to lter the eeects of pore water for saturated soil conditions. Using a multi-layered wave propagation model to simulate the proposed testing connguration revolving around a torsionally vibrating loading plate, it is shown that the use of generalized Love ...

The first applications of acoustic devices to chemical detection were proposed by Sauerbray in 1959 [1]. For application in liquid media, mainly quartz microbalance (QCM) sensors have been investigated. Recent works on Love waves devices for gas detection have demonstrated definitely their superiority, in particular in term of mass loading effect sensitivity [2]. As the shear horizontal polariz...

A general initial-boundary value problem of one-dimensional transient wave propagation in a multi-layered elastic medium due to arbitrary boundary or interface excitations (either prescribed tractions or displacements) is considered. Laplace transformation technique is utilised and the Laplace transform inversion is facilitated via an unconventional method, where the expansion of complex-valued...
