The book provides a description of the theory of earthquakes, starting with the tensorial force of the seismic moment and including the static deformations, the primary spherical- shell P and S waves and the seismic main shock. Vibrations of the spherical Earth and elastic half-space are presented and elements of seismometry and structural engineering are included. Also, earthquakes produced by explosions, meteorites or involving seas and oceans are described and the mechanism of earthquakes focus is discussed. The book introduces the notion of elementary earthquakes. The presentation is made…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
The book provides a description of the theory of earthquakes, starting with the tensorial force of the seismic moment and including the static deformations, the primary spherical- shell P and S waves and the seismic main shock. Vibrations of the spherical Earth and elastic half-space are presented and elements of seismometry and structural engineering are included. Also, earthquakes produced by explosions, meteorites or involving seas and oceans are described and the mechanism of earthquakes focus is discussed. The book introduces the notion of elementary earthquakes. The presentation is made by using the theory of elasticity for isotropic elastic solids, elements of the physics of fluids and equations of mathematical physics. Special attention is given to the effect of the boundaries and inhomogeneities.
