We present a simple algorithm for computing the acoustic response of a layered structure containing three‐dimensional (3-D) irregularities, using a locked‐mode approach and the Born approximation. The effects of anelasticity are incorporated by use of Rayleigh’s principle. The method is particularly attractive at somewhat larger offsets, but computations for near‐source offsets are stable as well, due to the introduction of anelastic damping. Calculations can be done on small minicomputers. The algorithm developed in this paper can be used to calculate the response of complicated models in three dimensions. It is more efficient than any other method whenever many sources are involved. The results are useful for modeling, as well as for generating test signals for data processing with realistic, model‐induced “noise.” Also, this approach provides an alternative to 2-D finite‐difference calculations that is efficient enough for application to large‐scale inverse problems. The method is illustrated by application to a simple 3-D structure in a layered medium.

Thermomechanical Surface

The simultaneous effects of mechanical and thermal surface loadings on the deformation of layered media were analyzed with the finite element method. A three-dimensional model of an elastic sphere sliding over an elastic-plastic layered medium was developed and validated by comparing finite element results with analytical and numerical solutions for the stresses and temperature distribution at the surface of an elastic homogeneous half-space. The evolution of deformation in the layered medium due to thermomechanical surface loading is interpreted in light of the dependence of temperature, von Mises equivalent stress, first principal stress, and equivalent plastic strain on the layer thickness, Peclet number, and sliding distance. The propensity for plastic flow and microcracking in the layered medium is discussed in terms of the thickness and thermal properties of the layer, sliding speed, medium compliance, and normal load. It is shown that frictional shear traction and thermal loading promote stress intensification and plasticity, especially in the case of relatively thin layers exhibiting low thermal conductivity.

The faithful modelling of the propagation of linear waves in a layered, periodic structure is of paramount importance in many branches of the applied sciences. In this paper, we present a novel numerical algorithm for the simulation of such problems which is free of the artificial singularities present in related approaches. We advocate for a surface integral formulation which is phrased in terms of impedance–impedance operators that are immune to the Dirichlet eigenvalues which plague the Dirichlet–Neumann operators that appear in classical formulations. We demonstrate a high-order spectral algorithm to simulate these latter operators based upon a high-order perturbation of surfaces methodology which is rapid, robust and highly accurate. We demonstrate the validity and utility of our approach with a sequence of numerical simulations.

A quadratic approximation for the square of the traveltime from a source region to a receiver region is given for a three‐dimensional (3-D) medium consisting of inhomogeneous layers with curved interfaces. The square of the traveltime, being a function of source and receiver coordinates, is developed in a Taylor series around a reference source and receiver point. The relationships of the traveltime parameters to the ray parameters and the wavefront curvature matrices are shown. Using midpoint, half‐offset coordinates gives a simplified traveltime function compared to using source‐receiver coordinates only in the case that the reference source point and the reference receiver point coincide (zero‐offset approximation). For a medium consisting of homogeneous layers with plane dipping interfaces, the traveltime approximation is further simplified. The derived traveltime approximation is shown to be exact for a reflection from a plane dipping interface in a homogeneous medium. Explicit expressions for the traveltime parameters in terms of the layer parameters are derived for a horizontally layered medium. The traveltime errors of two different approximations are compared for a given layered model in a numerical example.

Elastic wave propagation in a two‐layer section has been studied with a solid two‐bed model and records resembling seismograms obtained for the four possible source‐detector configurations. Numerous events are identified. Among these, the shear waves are found to be surprisingly prominent. The amplitude of the ground roll falls off approximately as [Formula: see text] This is the amplitude‐range dependence expected for a surface wave. The ability of two in‐line detectors to reduce surface waves has been demonstrated.

For anti-plane shear waves in periodic elastic composites, it is shown that negative energy refraction can be accompanied by positive phase-velocity refraction and positive energy refraction can be accompanied by negative phase-velocity refraction , and that this can happen over a broad range of frequencies. Hence, in general, negative refraction does not necessarily require antiparallel group and phase-velocity vectors. Details are given for layered composites and the results are extended to, and illustrated for, two-dimensional periodic composites, revealing a wealth of information about the refractive characteristics of this class of composites. The composite's unit cell may consist of any number of constituents of any variable mass density and elastic modulus, admitting large discontinuities . A powerful variational-based solution method is used that applies to one-, two- and three-dimensional composites, irrespective of their constituents being homogeneous or heterogeneous. The calculations are direct, accurate and efficient, yielding the band structure, group-velocity, energy-flux and phase-velocity vectors as functions of the frequency and wavevector components, over an entire frequency band.
