Research on the evolution law of the seismic wave field based on the explosive source parameters
We present a numerical model for blast-induced seismic waves. This model is based on the transformation mechanism of the seismic wave field, and the process of the seismic wave’s generation is divided into two stages. The first stage is the generation of

Extracting information from noise [PDF]
Seismic waves created by sources such as wind, the ocean and human activity propagate inside the Earth all the time. Such waves are often regarded as ‘noise’ by seismologists, however, they travel through the Earth in exactly the same way as those ...

Properties of Flares-Generated Seismic Waves on the Sun
The solar seismic waves excited by solar flares (``sunquakes'') are observed as circular expanding waves on the Sun's surface. The first sunquake was observed for a flare of July 9, 1996, from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) space mission ...

The physics of earthquakes [PDF]
Earthquakes occur as a result of global plate motion. However, this simple picture is far from complete. Some plate boundaries glide past each other smoothly, while others are punctuated by catastrophic failures.

Seismic modeling using the frozen Gaussian approximation
We adopt the frozen Gaussian approximation (FGA) for modeling seismic waves. The method belongs to the category of ray-based beam methods. It decomposes seismic wavefield into a set of Gaussian functions and propagates these Gaussian functions along ...

On Seismic Waves (Third Paper) [PDF]
In two previous papers under the present title 1) 2) the authors have presented data on bodily waves. The present paper contains the corresponding data on surface waves (including seismic sea waves), the magnitude and energy of earthquakes, and ...

Seismic Waves and the Slinky: A Guide for Teachers [PDF]
This teacher's guide is intended to provide suggestions on how to teach about seismic waves. It provides information on the types and properties of seismic waves and instructions for using some simple materials, especially the 'slinky', to demonstrate ...
