Sustainable Passive Design for Building Performance of Healthy Built Environment in the Lingnan Area

Having a healthy built environment becomes increasingly important, especially under the effects of COVID-19. This paper intends to combine sustainable goals based on climate change with passive design principles to achieve a healthy built environment regarding the building performance of residential buildings. The Yuedao Residential Community in...

Directional Wavefield Decomposition of Snapshots of Acoustic Wavefields

In acoustic exploration and monitoring imaging plays a critical role in uncovering structure and minute changes therein. It is, however, often hampered by unfulfilled assumptions. One such assumption is that estimated incident and reflected wavefields at a reflector travel in opposite directions with respect to the reflector surface-normal...

Plasticity and damage characteristic of acoustic emission signals for S460 steel exposed to tensile load

S460 steel is increasingly used in civil engineering, especially in a harsh environment such as offshore structures [1]. Material damage is inevitable for structures subjected to static and dynamic loads during their technical life time. Thus, monitoring material damage is important for providing information regarding critical damage of in...

Free-surface and internal multiple elimination in one step without adaptive subtraction

We have derived a scheme for retrieving the primary reflections from the acoustic surface-reflection response by eliminating the free-surface and internal multiple reflections in one step. This scheme does not require model information and adaptive subtraction. It consists only of the reflection response as a correlation and convolution operator...

A tour of Marchenko redatuming: Focusing the subsurface wavefield

Marchenko redatuming can retrieve the impulse response to a subsurface virtual source from the single-sided surface reflection data with limited knowledge of the medium. We illustrate the concepts and practical aspects of Marchenko redatuming on a simple 1D acoustic lossless medium in which the coupled Marchenko equations are exact. Defined...
