Interaction of Seismic Waves with Zones of Concentration of Initial Stresses

摘要

The three-dimensional nonuniform structure of the Earth and the continuous tectonic and geody-namic processes generate zones of anomalous (both increased and decreased) concentrations of stresses, which can influence the propagation of seismic waves. Many publications starting from the basic papers [1-3] have been dedicated to investigation of wave processes in prestressed media, and interest in this field of study has not decreased. Recently, primary attention has been focused on research into localization of the concentration regions of preliminary stresses and reconstruction of the distribution of their values (see, for example, [4, 5]).
