Linearized inverse scattering for elastic parameters in a half-space with reflection data.

From MaRDI portal





The authors study the multi-parameters inversion of elastic wave equation in a half-space within the Born approximation. A method of simultaneously reconstructing the configurations of density and Lamé parameters of the medium is employed by using wideband measuring schemes in which transmitters and receivers scan over the half-space surface. It is shown that the reflected waves generated by horizontal and vertical pulse on the surface can be decomposed into \(p\to p\), \(p\to s\), \(s\to p\) and \(s\to s\) type of scattering components. As expected, these components contain enough information for the desired reconstruction. From them the density and two Lamé parameters are determined explicitly, and the results obtained have the form of filtered back-propagation as in acoustic diffraction tomography.
