Abstract:
Plane-wave decomposition and slant stack transformation have recently gained much interest as viable routes to perform a variety of prestack processing tasks, such as velocity estimation, migration, filtering, deconvolution, and velocity inversion. To further complement the current advances, the problem of earth model parameter estimation and prestack structural imaging are addressed in this work. Unlike existing methods, the algorithms presented here make a novel and systematic use of the plane-wave domain to determine migration and interval velocities, interface dip angles and common-shot ga

Full text
Abstract:
The collision of pure electromagnetic plane waves with collinear polarization in Einstein-Maxwell theory and the collision of gravitational plane waves in vacuum Einstein theory are studied. The singularity structure of the Bell-Szekeres and the Szekeres solutions is examined by using curvature invariants. As a final work, the collision of the plane waves in dilaton gravity theory is studied and also the singularity structure of the corresponding space-time is examined.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis considers several problems in general relativity which involve the <i>sectional curvature function</i> σ. The causal structure defined by Lorentzian metrics on space-times makes the behaviour of σ more interesting in general relativity than in classical (positive-definite) geometry and comparisons between results in classical and Lorentzian geometry are made which illustrate this point. The thesis as a whole emphasises the geometrical rather than the physical aspects of the theory. There are three principal areas of study contained in this thesis: A theorem by J.L. Synge which rela

Abstract:
Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2007.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 307-310).<br>Linear edge waves were first found mathematically by Stokes (1846). It has long been a topic of interest, since edge waves are believed to be responsible for the formation of beach cusps. Galvin (1965) was the first to observe in the laboratory that edge wave mode of frequency w can be excited by incident waves of frequency w. Guza and Bowen (1976) gave a theoretical explanation of the nonlinear mechanism of sub-harmonic resonance.
