Surface waves are widely used in near-surface geophysics and provide a noninvasive way
to determine near-surface structures. By extracting and inverting dispersion curves to obtain …

This research proposed a novel and powerful surface wave dispersion curve inversion
scheme called Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) inspired by the particular leadership hierarchy …

Following a brief overview of the history and the development of the Surface Wave Method—
with a focus on techniques for processing and inverting field data—a Simplified Inversion …

As theory dictates, for a series of horizontal layers, a pure, plane, horizontally polarized
shear (SH) wave refracts and reflects only SH waves and does not undergo wave-type …

Rayleigh waves have been used increasingly as an appealing tool to obtain near-surface
shear (S)-wave velocity profiles. However, inversion of Rayleigh wave dispersion curves is …

We present a new algorithm for calculating an image of dispersive energy in the frequency-
velocity (fv) domain. The frequency decomposition is first applied to a shot gather in the …

Multichannel analysis of surface waves is a developing method widely used in shallow
subsurface investigations. The field procedures and related parameters are very important …

The dispersion behavior of waves in an elastic plate with material properties varying along
the thickness direction is studied. First, the inhomogeneous plate is approximated by a …

We discuss five useful equations related to high-frequency surface-wave techniques and
their implications in practice. These equations are theoretical results from published …

In this paper, the global stiffness matrix [K] and the Fourier–Bessel series methods are
proposed to derive the accurate Green's function and dynamic response in a form that is …
