Abstract

The main aim of the work is finding a general mathematical model to estimate the moisture content in the soil using seismic waves propagation, when the composition of the media is unknown. Usinf the new mathematical model here presented, the authors are developing a prototype of the sensor that will be able to measure the moisture of the soil usinf both compressional and shear waves velocity measurement.
