Surface Waves in Geomechanics: Direct and Inverse Modelling for Soils and Rocks

Theories of surface waves develop since the end of XIX century and many fundamental problems like existence, phase and group velocities, attenuation (quality factor), mode conversion, etc. have been, in part successfully, solved within the framework of such simple models as ideal fluids^ or linear e...
