A Mathematical Study Of Voigt Viscoelastic Love Wave Propagation, David Nuse Peacock
A Mathematical Study Of Voigt Viscoelastic Love Wave Propagation, David Nuse Peacock
Masters Theses
"This research is a mathematical investigation of the propagation of a Love wave in a Voigt viscoelastic medium. A solution to the partial differential equation of motion is assumed and is shown to satisfy the three necessary boundary conditions. Velocity restrictions on the wave and the media are developed and are shown to be of the same form as those governing the elastic Love wave"--Abstract, page ii.
Two-Dimensional Seismic Model Studies, Joong Hee Chun
Two-Dimensional Seismic Model Studies, Joong Hee Chun
Masters Theses
"The purpose of this research was to design and construct apparatus suitable for two-dimensional seismic model studies.
A new technique for two-dimensional seismic model testing was devised which allows wide application of the equipment. This enabled the author to place the source and receiver in any desired position on the model, thereby permitting the recording of seismic events as function of distance and depth at any position
Two simple geometric models were tested to demonstrate the experimental range of the apparatus designed. The recorded data were compared with theoretical predictions and were found to be in good agreement"--Abstract, page ii.
Heat Flow In The Boss Deposit Of Missouri, Don Stainbrook
Heat Flow In The Boss Deposit Of Missouri, Don Stainbrook
Masters Theses
"Values of heat flow through a Precambrian mineral deposit were determined in the Boss area of Missouri, where 350 meters of Paleozoic sedimentary rocks overlie a complex series of rhyolite flows which have been altered and contain a copper bearing magnetite deposit. Geothermal data were obtained from a closely spaced grid of 17 diamond drill holes penetrating to depths of 1000 meters below ground surface. Temperature measurements were made at 5 meter intervals in the Precambrian section of all holes. These and thermal conductivity measurements made on representative core samples from 300 to 400 meters below the top of the …
