  • Abstract
    In this paper the design and the development of a moisture sensor for granular and porous mediums are presented. In the proposed method the moisture is measured by estimating the velocity of propagation of seismic waves (both compressional and shear ones) between a transmitter and a receiver separated by a known distance. The first experimental results are illustrated and compared with theoretical results.
