Description This monograph is the last volume in the series 'Acoustic and Elastic
Wave Fields in Geophysics'. The previous two volumes published
by Elsevier (2000, 2002) dealt mostly with wave propagation in liquid media.
The third volume is dedicated to propagation of plane,
spherical and cylindrical elastic waves in different media including isotropic and transversely isotropic solids, liquid-solid models,
and media with cylindrical inclusions (boreholes).
Audience
Exploration geophysicists, oil and gas industry
