AbstractAbstract
[en] We propose a filtering method which applies to great circle data i.e. to data which represent the integral along great circles, of a function defined at each point of the sphere. This filter is based on the vanishing of the odd harmonics in the global spherical harmonic expansion of great circle values. This filter also enables to obtain a lower estimate of the S/N ratio in the data using a comparison with synthetic data. We present two examples relevant to seismological data

AbstractAbstract
[en] The study of the ultrasonic technique of elapsed time in the dimensionment of notch inclined of 15 and 30 degree and of depth of 5 and 10 mm using the superficial Rayleigh wave and the mode conversion, with a headstock transmitter and other receiver. The dimensionment of notch and of the binding of the piece were made with headstock in different positions. Between the various results obtained can be mentioned the increase of the dimensionment, by two techniques, with the increase of the angle and/or of the depth. (V.R.B.)

AbstractAbstract
[en] A new experimental method and principle were presented for the continuous measurement of the depth-dependant reflection coefficient of Rayleigh waves or their pulse interacting with various surface discontinuities. The method was to record the reflection-echo-amplitudes for varying depth during scanning the Rayleigh wave pulse with a small lateral beam width along a surface discontinuity with a small slope in depth. In the experiments using a declined slot and intensively focused Rayleigh waves, the coefficients were continuously measured with quite good reproducibility in the range of $0.05

AbstractAbstract
[en] The equations of generalized thermoelastic diffusion, based on the theory of Lord and Shulman with one relaxation time, are derived for anisotropic media with rotation. The variational principle and reciprocity theorem for the governing equations are derived. The propagation of leaky Rayleigh waves in a viscous fluid layer overlying a homogeneous isotropic, generalized thermoelastic diffusive half space with rotating frame of reference is studied

AbstractAbstract
[en] This paper aims to investigate the influence of rotation, initial stress and gravity field on the propagation of Rayleigh waves in a homogeneous orthotropic elastic medium. The government equations and Lame's potentials are used to obtain the frequency equation which determines the velocity of Rayleigh waves, including rotation, initial stress and gravity field, in a homogeneous, orthotropic elastic medium has been investigated. The numerical results analyzing the frequency equation are discussed and presented graphically. It is important to note that the Rayleigh wave velocity in an orthotropic elastic medium increases a considerable amount in comparison to the Rayleigh wave velocity in an isotropic material. The results indicate that the effects of rotation, initial stress and gravity field on Rayleigh wave velocity are very pronounced

AbstractAbstract
[en] The scanning laser source (SLS) technique is a promising new laser ultrasonic tool for the detection of small surface-breaking defects. The SLS approach is based on monitoring the changes in laser-generated ultrasound as a laser source is scanned over a defect. Changes in amplitude and frequency content are observed for ultrasound generated by the laser over uniform and defective areas. The SLS technique uses a point or a short line-focused high-power laser beam which is swept across the test specimen surface and passes over surface-breaking or subsurface flaws. The ultrasonic signal that arrives at the Rayleigh wave speed is monitored as the SLS is scanned. It is found that the amplitude and frequency of the measured ultrasonic signal have specific variations when the laser source approaches, passes over and moves behind the defect. In this paper, the setup for SLS experiments with full B-scan capability is described and SLS signatures from small surface-breaking and subsurface flaws are discussed using a point or short line focused laser source

AbstractAbstract
[en] Surface wave dispersion curves from microearthquakes are used to obtain group velocity dispersion maps. The calculation of the local dispersion curves for each grid point from these maps then produces the input data to retrieve the 3D shear wave velocity model of the Tehran region. The group velocity maps indicate that the tomographic results agree well with the three main tectonic features and the geological units in the study area. The tomographic maps generally possess high-velocity structures across most of the mountain belts (Central Alborz and east-southeast mountains), whereas the Tehran Basin correlates to a low-velocity structure. Increasing the period in the study area highlights four independent low-velocity zones that reflect faults and fault junction systems. The shear wave velocity profiles indicate that the depth to bedrock exhibits southward variation ranging from ~ 300 m to ~ 1500 m. We also focus our analysis on the existence of faults within the shear wave profiles and discuss the low shear wave velocity anomalies deeper than 2 km result from the main fault structures (e.g., North Tehran, North-South Rey and Parchin). Furthermore, we argue that the dip angle of the North Tehran fault varies along fault strike, whereas the North-South Rey fault possesses a constant dip angle. Moreover, initial model uncertainties and checkerboard resolution tests are used to identify reliable and robust anomaly features in the 3D shear wave velocity model and 2D tomographic maps, respectively. Microearthquake analysis provides an effective approach for studying the upper crustal structure heterogeneity, especially the fault structure, of the Tehran region.

AbstractAbstract
[en] Imperfectly jointed interface serves as mechanical waveguide for elastic waves and gives rise to two distinct kinds of guided wave propagating along the interface. Contact acoustic nonlinearity (CAN) is known to plays major role in the generation of these interface waves called generalized Rayleigh waves in non-welded interface. Closed crack is modeled as non-welded interface that has nonlinear discontinuity condition in displacement across its boundary. Mathematical analysis of boundary conditions and wave equation is conducted to investigate the dispersive characteristics of the interface waves. Existence of the generalized Rayleigh wave(interface wave) in nonlinear contact interface is verified in theory where the dispersion equation for the interface wave is formulated and analyzed. It reveals that the interface waves have two distinct modes and that the phase velocity of anti-symmetric wave mode is highly dependent on contact conditions represented by linear and nonlinear dimensionless specific stiffness

AbstractAbstract
[en] Since ceramic layers coated on machinery components inevitably experience the changes in their properties it is necessary to evaluate the characteristics of ceramic coating layers nondestructively for a reliable use of coated components and 4 heir remaining life prediction. To address such a need, in the present study, an ultrasonic backward radiation technique is applied to investigate the characteristics of leaky Rayleigh surface waves propagating through the very thin TiN ceramic layers coated on AISI 1045 steel or austenitic 304 steel substrate with three different conditions of surface roughness, coating layer thickness and wear condition. In the experiments performed in the present work, the peak angle and the peak amplitude of ultrasonic backward radiation profile varied sensitively according to three specimen preparation renditions. In fact, this result demonstrates a high possibility of the ultrasonic backward radiation as an effective tool for the nondestructive characterization of the resting layers even in such a thin regime
