Alaskan Earthquake of 27 March 1964: Remote Seiche Stimulation
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|July 17, 1964
Abstract:
After the intense Alaskan earthquake of 27 March 1964, unusual waves up to 6 feet (about 2 meters) in height occurred at about the time of arrival of seismic waves at many localities along the coasts of Louisiana and Texas. The parameters of local channels at the tide gauge in Freeport, Texas (the only instrument to record significant waves) yield seiche periods close to those of the seismic surface waves suggesting that the water waves were generated by and in resonance with the seismic waves.

01:20Elastic Strain Energy for Shearing Stresses
As discussed in previous lessons, strain energy in a material is the energy stored when it is elastically deformed, a concept crucial in materials science and mechanical engineering. This energy results from the internal work done against the cohesive forces within the material. When a material undergoes shearing stress and corresponding shearing strain, the strain energy density, which is the energy stored per unit volume, is calculated. Within the elastic limit, where the stress is...
01:16Shock Waves
While deriving the Doppler formula for the observed frequency of a sound wave, it is assumed that the speed of sound in the medium is greater than the source's speed through it. When this condition is breached, a shock wave occurs.
When the source's speed approaches the speed of sound, constructive interference between successive wavefronts emitted by the source occurs immediately behind it. Initially, scientists believed that this constructive interference would result in such high pressures...
