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 …

High-frequency surface-wave analysis methods have been effectively and widely used to
determine near-surface shear (S) wave velocity. To image the dispersion energy and identify …

The S-wave velocity of the shallow subsurface can be inferred from shallow-seismic
Rayleigh waves. Traditionally, the dispersion curves of the Rayleigh waves are inverted to …

The detection of delamination and rebar debonding is among the most frequently
encountered issues for inspecting concrete for quality control and assurance. This paper …

We present the theory for wave-equation inversion of dispersion curves, where the misfit
function is the sum of the squared differences between the wavenumbers along the …

We develop a two‐dimensional full waveform inversion approach for the simultaneous
determination of S‐wave velocity and density models from SH‐and Love‐wave data. We …

This paper describes a theory of surface Love waves propagating in lossy waveguides
consisting of a viscoelastic layer deposited on a semi-infinite elastic substrate. The Zener …

Shallow-seismic full-waveform inversion (FWI) provides an effective way for the accurate
reconstruction of near-surface models. The common 2D shallow-seismic FWI inverts either …

D full-waveform inversion (FWI) of shallow-seismic wavefields has recently become a novel
way to reconstruct S-wave velocity models of the shallow subsurface with high vertical and …

Full-waveform inversion (FWI) of surface waves can provide a valuable contribution to near-
surface investigations, since they are mainly sensitive to the S-wave velocity and hold a high …
