Numerical constraints on the model of stochastic excitation of solar-type oscillations
Analyses of a 3D simulation of the upper layers of a solar convective envelope provide constraints on the physical quantities which enter the theoretical formulation of a stochastic excitation model of solar p modes, for instance the convective ...

Seismic anisotropy in western Tibet
Teleseismic SKS data collected by a temporary broadband array across western Tibet are analysed to constrain shear‐wave splitting parameters. Small delay anisotropy is detected, with a rotation of the fast axis azimuth from 40°E in the Tarim basin west of Yecheng to more easterly values between Hotien and Shiquanhe.

Petrophysical properties (such as porosity, permeability, grain density, bulk density, electrical resistivity, and P-wave velocity), as well as the anisotropy of the permeability, seismic velocity (P-wave velocity) and electrical resistivity were ...

Rupture by damage accumulation in rocks [PDF]
The deformation of rocks is associated with microcracks nucleation and propagation, i.e. damage. The accumulation of damage and its spatial localization lead to the creation of a macroscale discontinuity, so-called "fault" in geological terms, and to the

As seismic design paradigms shift toward functional recovery, there is a need for efficient methods to achieve desired decision variables (DVs), such as probability of replacement, repair cost, and downtime of the building, for seismically isolated buildings.

Physical Properties of Iron in the Inner Core
The Earth's inner core plays a vital role in the dynamics of our planet and is itself strongly exposed to dynamic processes as evidenced by a complex pattern of elastic structure.

Shear wave structure of a transect of the Los Angeles basin from multimode surface waves and H/V spectral ratio analysis [PDF]
We use broad-band stations of the ‘Los Angeles Syncline Seismic Interferometry Experiment’ (LASSIE) to perform a joint inversion of the Horizontal to Vertical spectral ratios (H/V) and multimode dispersion curves (phase and group velocity) for both ...

Elastic properties of silicate melts: Implications for low velocity zones at the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary. [PDF]
Low seismic velocity regions in the mantle and crust are commonly attributed to the presence of silicate melts. Determining melt volume and geometric distribution is fundamental to understanding planetary dynamics.

Sulfur‐Bearing hcp Iron for Earth's Inner Core
Abstract Earth's iron core is believed to contain light impurities which should have been included during core formation. In order to place constraints on core composition, here we report the effect of sulfur on density of hexagonal close‐packed (hcp) iron which was not previously examined, using laser‐heated diamond anvil cells with in situ ...
