11. Typical values for P-wave velocity in earthquakes are in the range 5 to 8 km / s. 12. In two 1961 papers on compressional wave velocities , he established what is now called Birch's law. 13. Ocean bottom seismography studies of the Ryukyu trench provide insight into the P-wave velocity structure of the area. 14. "Use of refraction microtremor ( ReMi ) data for shear wave velocity determination at an urban bridge rehabilitation site" 15. This asymmetry and higher travelling wave velocity at the base explains why the ABR is biased towards the high frequencies. 16. In the high frequency limit, the phase and group velocities of all these modes converge to the shear wave velocity . 17. Where V _ p and V _ s refer to P-wave velocity and S-wave velocity, respectively. 18. Where V _ p and V _ s refer to P-wave velocity and S-wave velocity , respectively. 19. For a low-frequency tone burst, the travelling wave velocity is greatest at the base than at the apex. 20. The wave velocity in one medium not only may differ from that in another, but the velocity typically varies with wavelength.
