An assessment of fuzzy logic vessel path control

TL;DR: In this article, a fuzzy logic controller for ship path control in restricted waters is developed and evaluated, which uses inputs of heading, yaw rate, and lateral offset from the nominal track to produce a commanded rudder angle.

Normal modes of continental surface waves

TL;DR: For example, when the path between epicenter and station traverses only continental structure, the dispersion of the entire train of directly arriving seismic surface waves can be explained as the result of normal mode propagation in a crustmantle system in which the velocity increases in some manner with depth within the crust.

Transmission and reflection of love waves at a vertical discontinuity

TL;DR: In this article, an approximate method for calculating reflection and transmission coefficients for Love waves incident on a vertical discontinuity is developed, and the concept of a coupling coefficient between modes on either side of the boundary is introduced.

Models of Acoustic Localization

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used behavioral experiments to demonstrate acoustic localization in teleost fishes using traveling sound waves that propagate in different directions but do not differ in other qualities, and demonstrated that the directional stimuli needed to demonstrate localization can only be obtained in deep water as in a lake or fjord.
