Today, surface-wave analysis is widely adopted for building near-surface S-wave velocity
models. The surface-wave method is under continuous and rapid evolution, also thanks to …

This overview article gives a picture of multichannel analysis of high-frequency surface
(Rayleigh and Love) waves developed mainly by research scientists at the Kansas …

Ballast plays a vital role in transmitting and distributing the train wheel loads to the
underlying track substructure. The load-bearing capacity, safe train speed, and the levels of …

We utilize an array method called the frequency‐Bessel transformation method to extract the
multimodal dispersion curves of Rayleigh waves from ambient seismic noise data recorded …

Shear wave velocity (V s) is one of the most important input parameter to represent the
stiffness of the soil layers. It is preferable to measure V s by in situ wave propagation tests …

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 …

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 …

The multichannel analysis of surface wave (MASW) method has been effectively and widely
used to determine near-surface shear-wave velocity. Horizontal resolution of the MASW …

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 …

Higher-mode contribution is important in surface-wave inversion because it allows more
information to be exploited, increases investigation depth, and improves model resolution. A …
