Detailed Documentation
This MATLAB program provides comprehensive simulation of Rayleigh wave propagation through three-layer geological media. The implementation utilizes matrix-based solutions for wave equation calculations and handles boundary conditions between different soil layers. Key functions include layer parameter configuration (density, velocity profiles), dispersion curve generation, and visualization of wave propagation patterns. The intuitive interface allows users to modify layer properties and observe corresponding changes in Rayleigh wave behavior, making it an excellent educational tool for understanding seismic wave characteristics in stratified media. The code employs finite difference methods for wave propagation simulation and includes modules for data analysis and result export functionality.
