Wavelet analysis of bender element signals [PDF]
Géotechnique, 2012 Accurate determination of shear wave arrival time using bender elements may be severely affected by a combination of near-field effects and reflected waves. These may mask the first arrival of the shear wave, making its detection difficult in the time domain. This paper describes an approach for measuring the shear wave arrival time through analysis of

Design of an Acoustic Bender Transducer for Active Sonobuoys
Sensors, 2019 Recent underwater vehicles can operate with a much lower level of noise, which increases the need for an active sonobuoy with a high detection performance. These active sonobuoys mainly use bender transducers as a projector that emits sound waves.

Static and dynamic characterisation of Agartala peat [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2021 Peat is a unique soil type whose properties vary widely compared to other soils due to its high water content, low shear strength and high compressibility. Thus, construction on peat deposits is challenging and needs proper attention from engineers.

New Clues on the Calcium Underabundance in Early-Type Galaxies [PDF]
, 2003 We use our new stellar population models, which include effects from variable element abundance ratios, to model the Ca4227 absorption line indices of early-type galaxies (Trager et al.), and to derive calcium element abundances.
