Seismic Wave Propagation in Stratified Media

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on elastic wave propagation in stratified media. The development of the theory media has been strongly influenced by problems seismic and nature seismograms recorded from earthquakes. For purely analytic developments propagation, level manageable algebraic complexity is reached a model with one or two uniform layers overlying half space. shows how excitation waves, within horizontally structure, can be conveniently developed terms reflection transmission matrices. procedure allowed construction full response medium approximations desired properties so that theoretical may calculated for realistic distributions parameters. Although this isotropic media, nearly all results apply directly to case anisotropy if 3 × matrices allowing coupling between types are employed. wavefield both source receiver stratification used other classes propagation.
