Abstract
The response of a tree trunk to a hammer blow, measured by sensors positioned around the excited cross section, consists of two kinds of transient mechanical waves: longitudinal P- and transverse S-waves. The aim of this paper is to extract the velocity of the S-waves, using a filtering structure that emphasizes the waves heading in one of the directions along the circumference. By this approach, a more robust estimate of the delay between the channels, compared to, e.g., using the pure discrete Radon transform, is obtained. The method is applied to recordings of a large number of trees, and estimated velocities are reported.
