Description This book examines the differences between an ideal and a real description of wave propagation, where ideal means an elastic (lossless),
isotropic and single-phase medium, and real means an anelastic, anisotropic and multi-phase medium. The analysis starts by introducing
the relevant stress-strain relation. This relation and the equations of momentum conservation are combined to give the equation of motion.
The differential formulation is written in terms of memory variables, and Biot's theory is used to describe wave propagation in porous
media. For each rheology, a plane-wave analysis is performed in order to understand the physics of wave propagation. The book contains
a review of the main direct numerical methods for solving the equation of motion in the time and space domains. The emphasis is on geophysical
applications for seismic exploration, but researchers in the fields of earthquake seismology, rock acoustics, and material science -
including many branches of acoustics of fluids and solids - may also find this text useful.
Audience
Researchers in earthquake seismology, rock acoustics and material science; oil and mining companies dealing with hydrogeology and wave propagation.
