| Abstract: | A method is presented to determine experimentally phase and group velocity dispersion curves of propagating Rayleigh-wave modes. Through the application of the Fourier transform method wave number spectra of surface displacements due to wave propagation along a line are constructed. The dominant peaks in the wave number spectra together with their corresponding wave numbers are identified. From the latter the phase velocities, which correspond to the wave modes present, are calculated. The phase and group velocity dispersion curves of wave modes are determined from repeated experiments with different frequencies of excitation. This method to determine the frequency-dependent Rayleighwave velocities solves the problem of non-linear phase changes between surface points in contrast to the conventional phase difference methods which assume linear phase changes. |
