Traditional approaches of using dispersion curves for S-wave velocity reconstruction have limitations, principally, the 1D-layered model assumption and automatic/manual picking curves. At same time, conventional full-waveform inversion (FWI) can easily converge to a non-global minimum when applied directly complicated surface waves. Alternatively, recently introduced wave equation spectrum meth...

We perform ambient noise tomography of China using the data from the China National Seismic Network and surrounding global and regional stations. For most of the station pairs, we retrieve good Rayleigh waveforms from ambient noise correlations using 18-months of continuous data at all distance ranges across the entire region (over 5000 km) and for periods from 70 s down to about 8 s. We obtain...

The properties of Rayleigh-type surface wave in a linear, homogeneous and transversely isotropic nonlocal micropolar piezoelectric solid half-space are explored. Dispersion relations for derived both charge free electrically shorted cases. Using an algorithm iteration method MATLAB software, the speed Rayleigh is computed relevant material constants. effects nonlocality, angular frequency, micr...

Wave scattering by objects that are small compared to the wavelength (Rayleigh scattering) is usually studied for plane incident waves. However, knowledge of the full Green's function of the problem becomes necessary when the separation of scatterers from either an interface or each other is comparable to the scatterers' dimensions. Here, an elementary analytic solution is derived for diffracti...

it is very important to study and simulate s-wave structure for near surface (alluvium parts, in particular) owing to its direct relationship to urban facilities in geotechnical and earthquake engineering studies. so, in seismic microzonation, the first step is to study and identify s-wave pattern in alluvium in order to categorize different parts of cites according to s-wave velocity. current ...
