“…There are many works devoted to the development and application of analytical/semi-analytical methods for wave propagation analysis in stratified elastic media, see, for instance, Akkuratov & Dmitriev (1984), Brekhovskih (1960), Fatianov & Mikhailenko (1988), Fatianov (1990), Haskell (1953), Karchevsky (2005a,b), Kunetz & D'Erceville (1962), Molotkov (1984Molotkov ( , 2002, Ursin (1983), Thomson (1950). The development of similar methods in the case of stratified porous media (low frequency range, static permeability case) is very important too, see Allard et al (1989), Baird et al (1996), Molotkov (2002) and Carcione (2007).…”
