Abstract

In this paper, the dual representation model with hypersingularity and di- vergent series is reviewed. The Cesaro sum is applied to regularize the divergent series which occurs in the ground motion deconvolution analysis in soil dynamics. To deal with the ill-posed problem, we use the corner of the L-curve as the compromise point to determine the optimum order of the Cesaro sum, so that the high-frequency content can be suppressed instead of engineering judgement using the concept of cutoff frequency in SHAKE program. Two examples are shown, one is for single layer soil with viscous damping, the other one is for
