Abstract:We have developed and numerically tested a method for determining parameters of homogeneous viscoelastic anisotropy from measurements of wavefields generated by point sources. The method is based on complex algebra and consists of several steps. First, a complex energy velocity surface is constructed from the directionally dependent velocity and attenuation measured along a set of ray directions. Second, a complex slowness surface is computed using the relation of polar reciprocity between the energy velocity … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
