Abstract:
In recent years various problems associated with transmission, reflection and diffraction of seismic surface waves propagating in horizontally varying structures have been investigated by a number of authors. Such studies are important to understand the physical processes associated with energy transfer at continental margins, other horizontal transitions and with multipathing. Mathematical treatment of these problems is very difficult, even under highly simplifying assumptions and a variety of analytical, approximate and numerical methods have been used to achieve some measure of success. A brief review of these methods and the seismological problems is presented to which each method has been applied.
