  2. Surface wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_wave

    Surface waves span a wide frequency range, and the period of waves that are most damaging is usually 10 seconds or longer. Surface waves can travel around the globe many times from the largest earthquakes. Surface waves are caused when P waves and S waves come to the surface. Examples are the waves at the surface of water and air (ocean surface ...

  3. Surface wave inversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_wave_inversion

    Surface-wave inversion is the method by which elastic properties, density, and thickness of layers in the subsurface are obtained through analysis of surface-wave dispersion. [2] The entire inversion process requires the gathering of seismic data, the creation of dispersion curves, and finally the inference of subsurface properties.

  5. IGES - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IGES

    An IGES file is composed of 80-character ASCII records, a record length derived from the punched card era. Text strings are represented in "Hollerith" format, the number of characters in the string, followed by the letter "H", followed by the text string, e.g., "4HSLOT" (this is the text string format used in early versions of the Fortran language).

  6. Trochoidal wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trochoidal_wave

    A multi-component and multi-directional extension of the Lagrangian description of the free-surface motion – as used in Gerstner's trochoidal wave – is used in computer graphics for the simulation of ocean waves. [1] For the classical Gerstner wave the fluid motion exactly satisfies the nonlinear, incompressible and inviscid flow equations ...

  7. Gauss map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss_Map

    The Gauss map can be defined for hypersurfaces in R n as a map from a hypersurface to the unit sphere S n − 1 ⊆ R n.. For a general oriented k-submanifold of R n the Gauss map can also be defined, and its target space is the oriented Grassmannian ~,, i.e. the set of all oriented k-planes in R n.

  8. Body wave magnitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_wave_magnitude

    The original "body-wave magnitude" – mB or m B (uppercase "B") – was developed by Gutenberg (1945b, 1945c) and Gutenberg & Richter (1956) [2] to overcome the distance and magnitude limitations of the M L scale inherent in the use of surface waves. mB is based on the P- and S-waves, measured over a longer period, and does not saturate until ...

  9. Waveform graphics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waveform_graphics

    Text and graphics could be mixed, and there were additional tools for drawing axes and markers. The waveform graphics system was used only for a short period of time before it was replaced by the more sophisticated ReGIS system, first introduced on the VT125 in 1981. [1] ReGIS allowed the construction of arbitrary vectors and other shapes.
