Forward and Inverse Researches on Scattering of Ultrasonic Surface Waves by Near-Surface

Surface waves have great potential in engineering, such as geological inspection and ultrasonic non-destructive testing for near-surface characteristics. A thorough and effective utilization of their scattering phenomenon is required. This paper deals with the Love wave scattering by cavity-like flaws located on the layer interface in both forward and inverse aspects. We firstly suggest a numerical approach employing method of fundamental...
