Surface-wave dispersion
Q What is “dispersion”?
A Phase velocity differs in the frequency
→The velocity of each frequency is called Phase velocity.

The wave of long period (low


frequency) transmits fast, and the wave
of short period (high frequency) does
slowly.
→Dispersion

Characteristics of surface-wave
(Rayleigh-wave) survey
• Phase velocity of surface-wave is sensitive to the S-
wave velocity.
• Phase velocity of surface-wave us 0.9 to 0.95 times
that of S-wave.
• Difference of wave length causes the difference of
survey depth.
• Increasing source power efficiency
Surface-waves : 67%, S-wave: 26%, P-wave: 7%
• Easy to survey
• Possible to survey low velocity layer underneath high
velocity one.

Fourier transform is
1. Orthogonal
The inner product of any two different
harmonics is zero
2. Complete
No function can be orthogonal to all
harmonics
3. Convenient

Characteristics of phase-velocity
curves (dispersion curves)
• Phase-velocity curve is to be a smooth
curved line, or a straight line.
• Phase-velocity curve reflects the averaged
velocity model beneath receiver array.
• Higher modes exist.
• The frequency range is to be fixed by the

SAGEEP2003 Active and Passive Surface Waves
Summary Characteristics of the
Surface-wave Methods
• Phase velocity of surface-waves is sensitive to
the S-wave velocity
• Both active and passive surface waves can ve
used
• You can obtain S-wave velocity of the ground
easily with surface-wave methods
• You don’t need dynamite or special vibrators
