This note presents a basic study in
seismology and the utilization of seismic waves for the study of Earth's
interior. It introduces techniques necessary for understanding of elastic wave
propagation in layered media. Topics covered includes: Stress and strain,
Relationship between stress and strain, Equation of motion, Wave equation,
d'Alembert's solution, Separation of variables, Fourier transform, Slowness,
Travel time curves, Travel time tomography, Snell's law, Critical and
post-critical reflection, Surface waves-ground roll, Normal modes, Anisotropy,
Earthquake, Focal mechanics.

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 book covers the
following topics: Upper mantle discontinuities, Seismic scattering, Earthquake
location methods, Seismic tomography, Back-projection methods, Pulse shapes,
spectra, and stress drop, Earthquake scaling and energy, Earthquake triggering.
