Love waves are generally less employed than Rayleigh waves in near-surface shear-wave (S-wave) investigations because acquiring S-wave data is not as easy as acquiring P-wave data. The dispersion of Love waves, however, is independent of Poisson’s ratio. This character can be the valuable basis to improve the S-wave velocity imaging. The sensitivity of earth properties to the dispersion curve o...

shear and compressional wave velocities along with other petrophysical logs, are considered as upmost important data for hydrocarbon reservoirs characterization. shear wave velocity (vs) in well logging is commonly measured by some sort of dipole logging tools, which are able to acquire shear waves as well as compressional waves such as sonic scanner, dsi (dipole shear sonic imager) by schlumbe...

doppler ultrasound can provide important information about vascular problems through the analysis of blood flow wave-form. the purpose of this study was obtaining the normal images of color doppler and estimation of blood flow velocity parameters of femoral artery in rabbits. left and right femoral arteries of 8 healthy adult new zealand rabbits were evaluated. color and spectral doppler images...

This paper introduces an optical measurement system for shock wave characteristics. The system works by mountinga metal plate attached to spring mounts against the shock wavefront. This set is sealed and can plot the shock wave pressure diagram by measuring plate's displacement, radiation and changing the reflection of light during shock wave conflict, and converting these optical data to volta...
