This PDF
book Seismic imaging: a practical approach covers the following topics related
to Seismology : Introduction, Wave propagation, Refraction surveying, Seismic
tomography, Full waveform inversion, Hybrid seismic imaging, Integrated seismic
study Focus on “Cigéo”, the French geological repository project.
The main objective of this note is to
introduce the basic knowledge on earthquake engineering. This note covers the
source mechanics of earthquake, hazards and its consequences and also covers
earthquake measurement and instrumentation.
This note provides an
understanding about the basics of seismic wave propagation and methods to
determine the structure of the earth and the mechanism of an earthquake. Topics
covered includes: The elastic wave equation, Ray theory, travel time equations,
reflection/transmission coefficients, Refraction seismics, Reflection seismics,
Travel time inversion, Surface waves and normal modes, Earthquake focal
mechanisms.
The material is based on several textbooks, monographs and journal
articles. Though the material is clearly far from well elaborated it can be
useful for students who want to learn basics of theory of seismology. Topics
covered includes: Basic Relations Of Continuum Mechanics, Seismic Source,
Methods Of Solution Of The Equation Of Motion, Elastic Waves In Unbounded
Homogeneous Isotropic Medium, Reflection And Transmission Of Plane Waves At A
Plane Interface, Surface Waves, Seismic Response Of A System Of Horizontal
Layers Over a Halfspace To A Vertically Incident Plane SH Wave, The Ray Method.
This book covers the following Topics:
Concepts in Classical Seismology, Seismic Waves, Seismic Tomography, Theory of
Seismic Source, Retrieval of Seismic Source Parameters, Seismic Source
Parameters, Physics of Earthquakes, Earthquakes and Plate Motion.
