Book Synopsis Viscoelastic Waves and Rays in Layered Media by : Roger D. Borcherdt

Download or read book Viscoelastic Waves and Rays in Layered Media written by Roger D. Borcherdt and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-22 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition extends the rigorous, self-contained exposition of the theory for viscoelastic wave propagation in layered media to include head waves and general ray theory. The theory, not published elsewhere, provides solutions for fundamental wave-propagation and ray-theory problems valid for any media with a linear response, elastic or anelastic. It explains measurable variations in wave speed, particle motion, and attenuation of body waves, surface waves, and head waves induced at anelastic material boundaries that do not occur for elastic waves. This book may be used as a textbook for advanced university courses and as a research reference in seismology, exploration geophysics, engineering, solid mechanics, and acoustics. It provides computation steps for ray-tracing computer algorithms to develop a variety of tomography inferred anelastic models, such as those for the Earth's deep interior and petroleum reserves. Numerical results and problem sets emphasize important aspects of the theory for each chapter.
