Shear-wave velocity ( ) is an important parameter used for site characterization in geotechnical engineering. However, dispersion curve inversion is challenging for most inversion methods due to its high non-linearity and mix-determined trait. In order to overcome these problems, in this study, a joint inversion strategy is proposed based on the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. The ...

The present paper is concerned with  the investigation of disturbances in a homogeneous  transversely isotropic thermoelastic rotating  medium with two temperatures, in the presence of the combined effects of   Hall currents and magnetic field due to thermomechanical sources. The formulation is applied to the thermoelasticity theories developed by Green-Naghdi Theories of Type-II and Type-III. ...
