Fundamentals of Seismic Wave Propagation

Focusing on high-frequency body-waves in elastodynamics, this volume explores the theory of seismic wave propagation across various media, including acoustic, elastic, and anisotropic materials. It provides a foundation for modeling seismic waves in complex three-dimensional Earth models, making it ideal for graduate courses in theoretical seismology. Additionally, the book serves as a valuable reference for academic and industrial seismologists employing numerical modeling methods, featuring exercises and further reading suggestions in each chapter.
