Seismic Waves in a Layered Half-Space from an Arbitrary Buried Source

In this paper, a transfer matrix and a three-dimensional dynamic response of a layered half-space to an arbitrary buried source are derived with the aid of a technique which combines the Laplace and two-dimensional Fourier transforms in a rectangular coordinate system. This method is clear in concept, and the corresponding formulas given in the paper are simple and convenient for marine seismic prospecting and other fields' applications. An example is presented and the calculated results are in good agreement with those of the finite element method (FEM).

Directional nearest neighbor query method for specified geographical direction space based on Voronoi diagram

The existing nearest neighbor query methods cannot directly perform the nearest neighbor query of specified geographical direction space.In order to compensate the shortcomings of the existing methods,a directional nearest neighbor query method in specific direction space based on Voronoi diagram is put forward.This work studies two cases,i.e.the query point is static and the query point moves with a constant velocity.Under the static condition,the corresponding pruning method and the pruning algorithm of the specified direction nearest neighbor(pruning_SDNN algorithm)are proposed by combining the plane right-angle coordinate system with the north-west direction,and then according to the smallest external rectangle of Voronoi polygon,the specific query is made and the direction nearest neighbor query based on Voronoi rectangle(VR-DNN) algorithm is given.In the case of moving with a constant velocity,first of all,the combination of plane right angle coordinate system,geographical direction and circle are used,the query range is determined and pruning methods and the pruning algorithm of the direction nearest neighbor based on decision circle(pruning_DDNN algorithm) are put forward.Then,according to the different position of motion trajectory and Voronoi diagram,a specific query through the nature of Voronoi diagram is given.At last,the direction nearest neighbor query based on Voronoi diagram and motion trajectory(VM-DNN) algorithm is put forward.The theoretical research and experiments show that the proposed algorithm can effectively deal with the problem of the nearest neighbor query for a specified geographical direction space.
