分布式声学传感(DAS)已成为近地表场地勘察的革新性技术。当沿光纤施加竖直震源时,DAS仅测量雷利波运动的在线(径向)分量。从径向波形提取的频散数据在复杂地层条件下可能与竖直分量结果存在差异。因此,在反演径向分量DAS频散数据以获取剪切波速(Vs)剖面时,需要保持分量一致性。本研究提出一种径向分量主导模态(RCPM)反演框架,明确考虑震源-接收器方向性和雷利波径向分量的模态敏感性。该方法将实测主导径向频散趋势与模态参与度最高的理论模态匹配,从而无需显式模态索引,实现分量一致的径向频散解释,并大幅减少对主观人工模态判断的依赖。通过三个合成地层模型和两组野外DAS数据系统评估,结果显示:在强速度对比和速度反转条件下,竖直与径向分量的模态能量分布差异显著,传统反演方法可能误判模态行为,导致速度剖面不准确;而RCPM方法始终捕捉正确模态响应,获得可靠的速度剖面。两个野外数据应用进一步表明,反演得到的剪切波速剖面与独立钻孔测量结果高度一致。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) has emerged as a transformative technology for near-surface site characterization. When a vertical source is activated along the fiber, DAS measures only the in-line (radial) component of Rayleigh-wave motion. Dispersion data extracted from radial-component waveforms may differ from those obtained from vertical-component measurements, particularly under complex stratigraphic conditions. Hence, a component-consistent forward problem is desired when inverting radial-component DAS dispersion data to retrieve accurate shear wave velocity (Vs) profiles. This study presents a radial-component predominant-mode (RCPM) inversion framework designed for DAS-based surface-wave analysis that explicitly accounts for source-receiver directivity and modal sensitivity of the Rayleigh-wave radial component. The proposed approach matches measured dominant radial dispersion trends with the theoretical mode exhibiting the maximum modal participation. As a result, the RCPM framework eliminates the need for explicit modal indexing, provides a component-consistent interpretation of radial-component dispersion data, and substantially reduces reliance on subjective analyst-driven modal interpretations. The RCPM approach is systematically evaluated using three synthetic ground models and two field DAS datasets. The synthetic results demonstrate that modal energy distribution differs significantly between vertical and radial components in the presence of strong velocity contrasts and velocity reversals, and that conventional inversion approaches may misinterpret modal behavior, resulting in less accurate Vs profiles. In contrast, the RCPM method consistently captures the correct modal response and yields reliable Vs profiles. Application to two field DAS datasets further demonstrates good agreement between the inverted Vs profiles and independent invasive borehole measurements.
