Study on Mechanical Automation with a New Method for Defining the Calculation Window of Shear Wave Splitting

Abstract:

Shear wave splitting technology plays important role in detecting fractures. Picking up the calculation window is necessary in the shear wave splitting technology and plays a decisive role in the accuracy and precision detecting the orientation of fractures and fracture intensity. Conventionally, the calculation window for shear wave splitting is manually set, which is both laborious and subjective. Thus providing an mechanical automated method of picking up the calculation window is very meaningful.
