Quantitative seismology /
Aki, Keiiti, 1930-
Quantitative seismology / Keiiti Aki, Paul G. Richards. - Second edition - xviii, 700 pages : illustrations ; 26 cm.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 657-685) and index.
Basic theorems in dynamic elasticity -- Representation of seismic sources -- Elastic waves from a point dislocation source -- Plane waves in homogeneous media and their reflection and transmission at a plane boundary -- Reflection and refraction of spherical waves, lamb´s problem -- Surface waves in a vertically heterogeneous medium -- Free oscillations of the earth -- Body waves in media with deph-dependent properties -- The seismic source: kinematics -- The seismic source: dynamics -- Principles of seismometry.
This new edition of the classic text by Aki and Richards has at last been updated throughout to systematically explain key concepts in seismology. Now in one volume, the book provides a unified treatment of seismological methods that will be of use to advanced students, seismologists, and scientists and engineers working in all areas of seismology. For the first time, this test is available in paperback.
