Book The Finite Difference Modelling of Earthquake Motions

Download or read book The Finite Difference Modelling of Earthquake Motions written by Peter Moczo and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among all the numerical methods in seismology, the finite-difference (FD) technique provides the best balance of accuracy and computational efficiency. This book offers a comprehensive introduction to FD and its applications to earthquake motion. Using a systematic tutorial approach, the book requires only undergraduate degree-level mathematics and provides a user-friendly explanation of the relevant theory. It explains FD schemes for solving wave equations and elastodynamic equations of motion in heterogeneous media, and provides an introduction to the rheology of viscoelastic and elastoplastic media. It also presents an advanced FD time-domain method for efficient numerical simulations of earthquake ground motion in realistic complex models of local surface sedimentary structures. Accompanied by a suite of online resources to help put the theory into practice, this is a vital resource for professionals and academic researchers using numerical seismological techniques, and graduate students in earthquake seismology, computational and numerical modelling, and applied mathematics.

Book Seismic Wave Propagation in Non Homogeneous Elastic Media by Boundary Elements

Download or read book Seismic Wave Propagation in Non Homogeneous Elastic Media by Boundary Elements written by George D. Manolis and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-23 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the mathematical potential and computational efficiency of the Boundary Element Method (BEM) for modeling seismic wave propagation in either continuous or discrete inhomogeneous elastic/viscoelastic, isotropic/anisotropic media containing multiple cavities, cracks, inclusions and surface topography. BEM models may take into account the entire seismic wave path from the seismic source through the geological deposits all the way up to the local site under consideration. The general presentation of the theoretical basis of elastodynamics for inhomogeneous and heterogeneous continua in the first part is followed by the analytical derivation of fundamental solutions and Green's functions for the governing field equations by the usage of Fourier and Radon transforms. The numerical implementation of the BEM is for antiplane in the second part as well as for plane strain boundary value problems in the third part. Verification studies and parametric analysis appear throughout the book, as do both recent references and seminal ones from the past. Since the background of the authors is in solid mechanics and mathematical physics, the presented BEM formulations are valid for many areas such as civil engineering, geophysics, material science and all others concerning elastic wave propagation through inhomogeneous and heterogeneous media. The material presented in this book is suitable for self-study. The book is written at a level suitable for advanced undergraduates or beginning graduate students in solid mechanics, computational mechanics and fracture mechanics.

Download or read book Numerical Modeling of Seismic Wave Propagation written by Johan O. A. Robertsson and published by SEG Books. This book was released on 2012 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decades following SEG's 1990 volume on numerical modeling showed a step change in the application and use of full wave equation modeling methods enabled by the increase in computational power. Full waveform inversion, reverse time migration, and 3D elastic finite-difference synthetic data generation are examples. A searchable CD is included.

Book Seismic Waves in Laterally Inhomogeneous Media Part II

Download or read book Seismic Waves in Laterally Inhomogeneous Media Part II written by Ivan Psencik and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The special issue contains contributions presented at the international workshop Seismic waves in laterally inhomogeneous media IV, which was held at the Castle of Trest, Czech Republic, May 22-27, 1995. The workshop, which was attended by about 100 seismologists from more than 10 countries, was devoted mainly to the current state of theoretical and computational means of study of seismic wave propagation in complex structures. The special issue can be of interest for theoretical, global and explorational seismologists. The first part contains papers dealing with the study and the use of various methods of solving forward and inverse problems in complicated structures. Among other methods, discrete-wave number method, the finite-difference method, the edge-wave supperposition method and the ray method are studied and used. Most papers contained in the second part are related to the ray method. The most important topics are two-point ray tracing, grid calculations of travel times and amplitudes and seismic wave propagation in anisotropic media.

Book Finite difference Seismic Wave Modeling Including Surface Topography

Download or read book Finite difference Seismic Wave Modeling Including Surface Topography written by Stig Ottar Hestholm and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I present synthetics of seismic wave propagation near free surface topography. The velocity-stress formulations of both the full elastic and viscoelastic wave equations are used, and I have derived exact boundary conditions for any arbitrary, smooth topography in terms of the particle velocities. Program codes are developed for 2 and 3 dimensions (2-D and 3-D) using finite-difference (F-D) methods for both spatial and temporal numerical discretizations. An 8th order F-D method is used inside the physical model space, and the spatial F-D order decreases gradually towards the free surface topography. The discretization of the medium equations along the side and bottom boundaries, the free surface topography boundary conditions, and the forward time stepping, are all by 2nd order F-D methods. The leap-frog technique is used for time stepping everywhere except for the memory variable equations in the viscoelastic cases, where an explicit version of the unconditionally stable Crank-Nicholson method is used. I show synthetics applying the schemes to isotropic 2-D and 3-D media covered by topographies that are either described by analytic expressions or by real elevation data. These data are taken from an area in South-Eastern Norway that contains the NORESS seismic receiver array. Domains up to 60 x 60 kilometers are used in 3-D simulations, and the applied sources are plane waves generated by a plane of Ricker type point sources. These sources represent earthquakes or teleseismic explosions. For 2-D simulations I have used both plane waves and point sources, since the larger models permissible in 2-D allow for point sources to represent earthquakes or teleseismic explosions quite well. For 2-D simulations I have also included examples using layered media with randomization by a 2-D von Karman function with and without apparent anisotropy. Synthetic snapshots and seismograms show Rayleigh (Rg)-waves emanating from areas of prominent topography as well as strong surface wa
