Surface wave propagation in 3-D anelastic media
… been well understood. In this dissertation, the effects of lateral perturbations in anelasticity (Q) and wave speed on surface wave observables are quantified based upon wave propagation simulations in 3-D earth models using a Spectral Element Method. Comparison between phase delays caused by 3-D …

Imaging Resolution of the 410-km and 660-km Discontinuities
… a Spectral Element Method (SEM). We investigate finite-frequency effects of direct P waves as well as P-to-S converted waves by varying the length scale of discontinuity topography in the transition zone. We show that wavefront healing effects are significant in broadband receiver functions. For …

Surface Wave Propagation and Global Crustal Tomography
In this thesis, a finite-frequency theory is developed to calculate Born sensitivity kernels for Rayleigh-wave phase and amplitude measurements that are valid in regions near seismic stations. Calculations of sensitivity kernels for inter-station measurements show that exact travelling-wave …

Finite Element Modeling of Seismic Wave Propagation in Earthen Embankments
… shape of embankment was studied via 2D and 3D finite element (FE) embankment models. Artificial reflections from external boundaries and numerical dispersion were first examined in the frame work of COMSOL. A combination of an absorbing layer and dashpot elements produced minimal reflections. …
