Anisotropy is frequently present in geological structures, but usually neglected when source parameters are determined through waveform inversion. Due to the coupling of propagation and source effects in the seismic ...
Using higher-order ray theory, we derived exact elastodynamic Green functions for three simple types of homogeneous anisotropy. The first type displays an orthorhombic symmetry, the other two types display transverse ...
Singularities often cause trouble in tracing rays in inhomogeneous anisotropic media. The ray-tracing algorithms can break down in the vicinity of the singularities because the medium becomes nearly degenerate and the ...
