The aim of the course:
The course aims to provide the students with a practical solution about main subjects of surface waves, to help them use their knowledge to understand particular motion of Rayleigh and Love waves propagated in the earth, to teach them how to search for earth structure.
 
Programme OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
PO - 1 : summarise the general knowledge on main subject of surface waves1,2
PO - 2 : describe the Love and Raylegih waves propagation in the eart2,3,4
PO - 3 : apply discrimination of simple and complex records according to the particular motion of surface waves.2,3,7
PO - 4 : evaluate the results of free and layered medium5,7,8
PO - 5 : present before an audience the results and outcome of any exercis6,9,10
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), PO : Learning Outcome

 
Contents of the Course
Definition and properties of surface waves, phase ve group veloceties, transmission matrix, variational principles of Love and Rayleigh waves, Rayleigh-Ritz method, attenuation of surface waves, Green's function, free oscillations, inversion of very long surface wave data.
