...Eduardo Kausel; José Manuel Roësset Abstract The Haskell-Thompson transfer matrix method is used to derive layer stiffness matrices which may be interpreted and applied in the same way as stiffness matrices in conventional structural analysis. These layer stiffness matrices have several advantages...

Synthesis of the seismograms is accomplished through the use of time domain theory as the complicated frequency response of the models makes a frequency oriented Haskell-Thompson...

Although not modeled in the Table 1 profile, because no data are available, the shear wave velocity may increase at some point in the alluvium above the bedrock. The Haskell-Thompson method was used to compute...

... technique to assess site amplifications is preferred to full one-dimensional site response analysis using, for example, the Haskell–Thompson method because the associated one-quarter wavelength velocities, s, can be readily incorporated into the functional form of the GMPEs ( Joyner and Fumal, 1984...

The dispersion curves for a two-layered model are presented to show the effect on Love-wave propagation. The analysis may be useful...

The method was used to calculate the surface displacement and strain fields for a number of slip regimes and crustal...

However, 1D SRAs condense the 3D nature of wave propagation to horizontally polarized vertically propagating shear (SH...

..., whereas the estimates of the resonance frequency from the two methods are fairly consistent, the levels of amplification are not. Using numerical modeling based on an improved Thompson–Haskell propagator matrix method, we were able to isolate the contribution of pure and converted waves to the site...
