Transversely Isotropic Layer

Propagation of Love-type waves emanating due to a disturbance point source in a transversely isotropic layer of finite thickness laid over a semi-infinite half-space is investigated. The layer is assumed under the influence of magnetic field and hydrostatic state of stress, while the half-space is inhomogeneous. The source point is situated at the common interface of the layer and half-space. Maxwell’s equation and generalized Ohm’s law have been taken into account to calculate the Laurent force induced in the layer. Green’s function technique and Fourier transform are used as a powerful tool to calculate the interior deformations of the model; consequently, we obtain a closed-form dispersion relation for the wave. Six numerical examples for the transversely isotropic layer, namely, beryl, magnesium, cadmium, zinc, cobalt, and simply isotropic, have been considered. The role of magneto-elastic coupling parameter, hydrostatic stress, inhomogeneity, the order of the depth variation in inhomogeneity function, and different examples of the layer on the propagation of Love-type wave has been observed by numerical examples and graphical demonstrations.

Transversely Isotropic Layer

Traveltime inversion of multioffset VSP data can be used to determine the depths of the interfaces in layered media. Many inversion schemes, however, assume isotropy and consequently may introduce erroneous structures for anisotropic media. Synthetic traveltime data are computed for layered anisotropic media and inverted assuming isotropic layers. Only the interfaces between these layers are inverted. For a medium consisting of a horizontal isotropic low‐velocity layer on top of a transversely isotropic layer with a horizontal axis of symmetry (e.g., anisotropy due to aligned vertical cracks), 2-D isotropic inversion results in an anticline. For a given axis of symmetry the form of this anticline depends on the azimuth of the source‐borehole direction. The inversion result is a syncline (in 3-D a “bowl” structure), regardless of the azimuth of the source‐borehole direction for a vertical axis of symmetry of the transversely isotropic layer (e.g., anisotropy due to horizontal bedding).
