Page 6 - motion consists of a series of different epochs, in each of which the period remains essentially constant, while the amplitude, on the whole, is also constant, except for the occurrence of maximum and minimum groups." In a table we find ten groups, in which the periods vary between 1-02 and 66 second. After discussing the amplitudes and durations of these various phases, it is shown that the arcual velocities vary between 2...
Page 7 - The principal portion, denotes the most active part of an earthquake which follows the preliminary tremors and consists of movements of larger amplitude. The earlier part of the principal...
Page 268 - ... equations of equilibrium and motion of elastic bodies, these bodies being supposed to consist of molecules attracting or repelling one another according to some function of the distance ||. In the latter he proceeds to integrate these equations generally, and to deduce the laws of propagation of waves at a considerable distance from the origin of disturbance ^. In the case of fluids he arrives at the conmany instances the elementary motions of the molecules of bodies which transmit sound are...
Page 154 - Furnace charged by chute principle is illustrated in Fig. 8 from which it will be seen that the roof and electrode masts are built as a single unit, being tied and braced together.
Page 15 - This proves that the disturbances are simultaneous at all observatories within the limits of measurement and that Taungoo time is slow I°1 08" while the time at the other three observatories is very good.
Page 3 - ... the same as those of the waves existing at ordinary times and are constant at each given sea-coast.
Page 54 - Vertical distance between the point of suspension and the point of support = 0.85 metre. Horizontal distance between the point of support and the centre of the heavy bob = 0.70 metre.
