摘要: Spherical-wave offset-dependent reflectivity is investigated by measuring ultrasonic reflection amplitudes from a water/Plexiglas interface. The experimental results show substantial deviation of the measured plane-wave coefficients at large angles. However, full-wave numerical simulations point source response using algorithm excellent agreement with measurements, demonstrating that caused wavefront curvature. To analyze effect curvature on elastic inversion, we simulate spherical-wave different frequencies and invert for parameters least-square fitting (Zoeppritz) solution. two-parameter inversion based intercept gradient robust, although estimation three ( VP , VS density) use offset variation angle (AVA) prone...
