Principles of Seismology

摘要: This book, first published in 2000, is an introductory text on seismology intended for upper division undergraduates and graduate students. It emphasises fundamental concepts basic mathematical developments, to be 'student friendly'. The author explains the full detail with step-by-step development of mathematics, although book does assume a knowledge vector tensor analysis, calculus ordinary partial differential equations, as well physics, especially mechanics elasticity theory. Simple examples, such one-dimensional problems liquid media are used topics. covers most topics seismology, including seismic wave propagation, normal mode theory, ray theory approximation, body surface waves, source mechanisms, kinematic dynamic models applications understanding structure Earth seismotectonics. also contains appendices useful tools includes extensive problems.
