Anisotropic anelastic seismic full waveform modeling and inversion: Application to North Sea offset VSP data

open access: yesGeoresursy, 2018
In sedimentary basin, elastic anisotropy can be described by a transverse isotropic medium and the attenuation in the seismic bandwidth can be approximated by a quasi-constant quality factor.

A Reflectivity Guided Elastic Full Waveform Inversion

open access: yesRecent Advances in Exploration Geophysics, 2014
Full waveform inversion (FWI) produces subsurface images by minimizing the misfit between observed data and calculated model using iterative local optimization algorithms like conjugate gradient method. This approach requires a starting model which should appear in the neighborhood of the global solution of the FWI problem to ensure that the modeled ...

Constrained Full Waveform Inversion for Borehole Multicomponent Seismic Data

open access: yesGeosciences, 2019
Full-waveform inversion for borehole seismic data is an ill-posed problem and constraining the problem is crucial. Constraints can be imposed on the data and model space through covariance matrices. Usually, they are set to a diagonal matrix.

Progress and prospect of surface-wave imaging techniques in near-surface applications

open access: yes地球与行星物理论评, 2022
Elastic properties of near-surface materials and their effects on seismic wave propagation are of fundamental interest in groundwater, engineering, and environmental studies. Shear-wave velocity is used to determine 'stiffness', one of the key properties

Case studies of ultrasonic full waveform inversion for inspecting concrete structures

open access: yese-Journal of Nondestructive Testing
The non-destructive evaluation of reinforced pre-stressed concrete structures is critical to prevent catastrophic failures of aging infrastructure. Conventional non-destructive inspection methods often rely on manual and subjective interpretation of the

Recent Advances in the GPR Detection of Grouting Defects behind Shield Tunnel Segments

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
Injecting grout into the gaps between tunnel shield segments and surrounding rocks can reduce ground subsidence and prevent ground water penetration. However, insufficient grouting and grouting defects may cause serious geological disasters.

Elastic Wave Phase Inversion in the Local-Scale Frequency–Wavenumber Domain with Marine Towed Simultaneous Sources

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
Elastic full waveform inversion (EFWI) is a crucial technique for retrieving high-resolution multi-parameter information. However, the lack of low-frequency components in seismic data may induce severe cycle-skipping phenomena in elastic full waveform ...

High-Accuracy Simulation of Rayleigh Waves Using Fractional Viscoelastic Wave Equation

open access: yesFractal and Fractional, 2023
The propagation of Rayleigh waves is usually accompanied by dispersion, which becomes more complex with inherent attenuation. The accurate simulation of Rayleigh waves in attenuation media is crucial for understanding wave mechanisms, layer thickness ...

Using Perfectly Matched Layer in a GPU simulation of ultrasound NDT

open access: yesResearch and Review Journal of Nondestructive Testing, 2023
Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) is a state-of-the-art method of image reconstruction with promising results for seismology and NDT. FWI estimates the velocity of wave propagation along the inspected object by iteratively comparing acquired data with ...
