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 …

Multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) has received increasing attention in many
disciplines in recent years. However, there are still issues with this method, which require …

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 …

The conventional inversion of surface waves depends on modal identification of measured
dispersion curves, which can be ambiguous. It is possible to avoid mode-number …

Surface wave dispersion curve inversion is a challenging problem for linear inversion
procedures due to its highly non-linear nature and to the large numbers of local minima and …

Multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) is a fast, low-cost, and environmentally
friendly technique to estimate shear wave velocity profiles of soil sites. This paper introduces …

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 …

A high-speed train can be regarded as a moving seismic source when it travels along a
railway. Seismic waves from such sources have strong energy and can be used for near …

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

Dominant higher modes of surface waves are known to be generated at sites with large
stiffness contrasts and∕ or reversals between layers. At many engineering sites, quite often …
