A Generalized Reflection-transmission Coefficient Matrix and Discrete Wavenumber Method for Synthetic Seismograms
Expressions for displacements on the surface of a layered half-space due to point force are given in terms of generalized reflection and transmission coefficient matrices (Kennett, 1980) and the discrete wavenumber summation method (Bouchon, 1981). The Bouchon method with complex frequencies yields accurate near-field dynamic and static solutions. The algorithm is extended to include simultaneo...
متن کاملGlobal synthetic seismograms using a 2-D finite-difference method
S U M M A R Y Two-dimensional (2-D) finite-difference (FD) synthetics, which fill the gap between fast 1-D analytic synthetics and time-consuming full 3-D synthetics in our ability to model seismograms, have been used in many studies. We address several issues involving 2-D FD methods in generating global synthetic seismograms. These include: (1) interfacing point source excitation for earthqua...
متن کاملAn analysis of SS precursors using spectral-element method seismograms
The traveltimes of underside shear wave reflections (i.e. SS precursors) are widely used data for mapping the topography of mantle discontinuities in the upper mantle. Here, we examine the accuracy of ray theory in estimating the contribution of shear velocity heterogeneity in the mantle to SS–S400S, SS–S670S and S400S–S670S traveltimes. We analyse stacks of spectral-element method waveforms co...
متن کاملGranular element method for three-dimensional discrete element calculations
This paper endows the recently-proposed granular element method (GEM) with the ability to perform 3D discrete element calculations. By using non-uniform rational B-Splines to accurately represent complex grain geometries, we proposed an alternative approach to clustering-based and polyhedra-based discrete element methods whereby the need for complicated and ad hoc approaches to construct 3D gra...
متن کاملCalculation of Synthetic Seismograms with Gaussian Beams
In this paper, an overview of the calculation of synthetic seismograms using the Gaussian beam method is presented accompanied by some representative applications and new extensions of the method. Since caustics are a frequent occurrence in seismic wave propagation, modifications to ray theory are often necessary. In the Gaussian beam method, a summation of paraxial Gaussian beams is used to de...
