Acoustic and Elastic Wave Fields in Geophysics, III

Klappentext This monograph is the last volume in the series 'Acoustic and Elastic Wave Fields in Geophysics'. The previous two volumes published by Elsevier (2000! 2002) dealt mostly with wave propagation in liquid media. The third volume is dedicated to propagation of plane! spherical and cylindrical elastic waves in different media including isotropic and transversely isotropic solids! liquid-solid models! and media with cylindrical inclusions (boreholes). * Prevalence of physical reasoning on formal mathematical derivations * Readers do not need to have a strong background in mathematics and mathematical physics* Detailed analysis of wave phenomena in various types of elastic and liquid-elastic media Zusammenfassung Part of the series "Acoustic and Elastic Wave Fields in Geophysics"! this volume talks about propagation of plane! spherical and cylindrical elastic waves in different media including isotropic and transversely isotropic solids! liquid-solid models! and media with cylindrical inclusions (boreholes). Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Hooke's law! Poisson's relation! and waves along thin bars. 2. Basic equations of elastic waves. 3. Elastic waves in a homogeneous medium. 4. Plane waves in a layered medium. 5. Surface waves in an elastic medium. 6. Waves in a layered medium caused by linear and point sources. 7. Propagation of elastic waves in a borehole containing a fluid. 8. Plane waves in a transversely isotropic medium. Appendices.
