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. The key features include: presents the fundamentals of
wave propagation in anisotropic, anelastic and porus media;
contains a new chapter on the analogy between acoustic and
electromagnetic waves, incorporating the subject of electromagnetic
waves; and emphasizes geophysics, particularly, seismic exploration
for hydrocarbon reservoirs, which is essential for exploration and
production of oil.
