Focusing on recent developments in the area of seismic wave propagation and scattering, this text combines information from numerous sources to present a coherent introduction to the theory of scattering in acoustic and elastic materials. With the emphasis firmly on the lithosphere, the book includes analyses of observations using the theoretical methods developed. Written for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduates of geophysics and planetary sciences, this is also of interest to civil engineers, seismologists, acoustical engineers, and others interested in wave propagation through inhomogeneous elastic media.
Description based upon print version of record.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Heterogeneity in the Lithosphere -- Phenomenological Modeling of Coda-Wave Excitation -- Born Approximation for Wave Scattering in Inhomogeneous Media -- Attenuation of High-Frequency Seismic Waves -- Synthesis of Three-Component Seismogram Envelopes for Earthquakes Using Scattering Amplitudes from the Born Approximation -- Envelope Synthesis Based on the Radiative Transfer Theory: Multiple Scattering Models -- Diffraction and Broadening of Seismogram Envelopes -- Summary and Epilogue.
