The relationship between 2-D and 3-D wave propagation in horizontally layered media was first investigated by Dampney (1971). In the last few years the usefulness and feasibility of transforming point‐source responses with 3-D geometric spreading to equivalent line‐source responses with 2-D geometric spreading have been thoroughly discussed (see Helgesen, 1990; Wapenaar et al., 1990, 1992; Herrmann, 1992; Helgesen and Kolb, 1993; Amundsen, 1993). In the case of cylindrical symmetry this transformation constitutes a required preprocessing step for several seismic processing algorithms based on 2-D wave propagation. The work of Dampney (1971) has apparently been missed by the authors discussing the 3-D to 2-D geometric spreading transform.

Based on the analytical solution of one-dimensional simplified equation of damping tidal wave and Heuristic stability analysis, the precision of numerical solution, computational time and the relationship between the numerical dissipation and the friction dissipation are discussed with different numerical schemes in this paper. The results show that (1) when Courant number is less than unity, the explicit solution of tidal wave propagation has higher precision and requires less computational time than the implicit one; (2) large time step is allowed in the implicit scheme in order to reduce the computational time, but the precision of the solution also reduce and the calculation precision should be guaranteed by reducing the friction factor: (3) the friction factor in the implicit solution is related to Courant number, presented as the determined friction factor is smaller than the natural value when Courant number is larger than unity, and their relationship formula is given from the theoretical analysis and the numerical experiments. These results have important application value for the numerical simulation of the tidal wave.

This paper presents an experimental method to investigate the attenuation performance of stress waves in concrete structures embedded in piezoelectric ceramics. To get the research objective, a series of test were hold. The relationship curve between the frequency and the attenuation coefficient was fit. The calculation method for propagation distances of stress waves with constant amplitudes and frequencies in the concrete medium was proposed. The research results show that the relationship curve of attenuation coefficient and frequency conform to the cubic polynomial function approximately. The attenuation performance for the concrete structure embedded into piezoelectric ceramics is relevant to the frequency, the amplitude and the medium character, and the frequency is the main factor. The research results of this paper can provide an effective evidence for correctly placing transducers.

Three cases for 1-D wave propagation in ideal elastic rock, through single rock joint and multiple parallel rock joints are used to verify 1-D wave propagation in rocks. For the case for 1-D wave propagation through single rock joint, the magnitude of transmission coefficient obtained from UDEC results is compared with that obtained from the analytical solution. For 1-D wave propagation through multiple parallel joints, the magnitude of transmission coefficient obtained from UDEC results is compared with that obtained from the method of characteristics. For all these cases, UDEC results agree well with results from the analytical solutions and the method of characteristics. From these verification studies, it can be concluded that UDEC is capable of modeling 1-D dynamic problems in rocks.
