Seismic Waves and Rays in Elastic Media

Slawinski M.A.0-08-036944-8-1984

This book seeks to explore seismic phenomena in elastic media and emphasizes the interdependence of mathematical formulation and physical meaning. The purpose of this title – which is intended for senior undergraduate and graduate students as well as scientists interested in quantitative seismology – is to use aspects of continuum mechanics, wave theory and ray theory to describe phenomena resulting from the propagation of waves.
