VOLUME INTEGRAL EQUATION METHOD FOR THE ANALYSIS OF FLUCTUATED ELASTIC HALF SPACE

Abstract

A method for the analysis of elastic half space by means of the volume integral equation is presented. The generalized Fourier transform is defined here in order to decompose the Green's function and the operator describing the fluctuation of the wavefield. The Krylov subspace iteration technique is employed to obtain the solution of the integral equation to which the generalized Fourier transform is applied. Several numerical calculations are carried out to verify the proposed method.
