As our theoretical understanding of the physics behind seismic waves has grown, physical and numerical modeling have greatly advanced and now augment applied seismology for better prediction and engineering practices. This has led to some novel applications such as using artificially-induced shocks for exploration of the Earth's subsurface and seismic stimulation for increasing the productivity of oil wells. This book demonstrates the latest techniques and advances in seismic wave analysis from theoretical approach, data acquisition and interpretation, to analyses and numerical simulations, as well as research applications. A review process was conducted in cooperation with sincere support by Drs. Hiroshi Takenaka, Yoshio Murai, Jun Matsushima, and Genti Toyokuni.Seismic wavesVolcanology & seismologySeismic waves.551.22Kanao Masakiedt1262998Kanao MasakiInstitute for New Technologies (Maastricht, Netherlands),AuAdUSAAuAdUSAUkMaJRUBOOK9910137695903321Seismic waves - research and analysis3404671UNINA
