One major cause of elastic wave attenuation in heterogeneous porous media is wave-
induced flow of the pore fluid between heterogeneities of various scales. It is believed that …

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 …

The shear-wave (S-wave) velocity of near-surface materials (soil, rocks, pavement) and its
effect on seismic-wave propagation are of fundamental interest in many groundwater …

Surface-wave dispersion analysis is widely used in geophysics to infer a shear wave
velocity model of the subsoil for a wide variety of applications. A shear-wave velocity model …

Abstract Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) analysis is an efficient tool to
obtain the vertical shear-wave profile. One of the key steps in the MASW method is 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 …

Seismic Wave Analysis for Near Surface Applications presents the foundational tools
necessary to properly analyze surface waves acquired according to both active and passive …

In order to evaluate the site effects on seismic ground motion and establish preventive
measures to mitigate these effects, the dynamic characterization of sites is mandatory …

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 …
