SUMMARY
The sounding problem of 1‐D layered media has been solved with wave energy transfer equations. Forward and backward wave propagation at any trajectory point are calculated. Analytical solutions for simple trajectories are derived. In the general case the solutions can be determined numerically. For certain active seismic sounding problem having good data coverage, this algorithm can be used to invert for characteristics of the layered media.
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.
