Yp. Boglaev et Rk. Brummer, INVERSE WAVE-PROPAGATION APPROACH BASED ON EXACT SOLVABLE MODELS WITHIMPLEMENTATION TO GEOMECHANICS, International journal of computer mathematics, 59(1-2), 1995, pp. 49-65
In this paper we propose an inverse wave propagation (IWP) approach ba
sed on the approximation of unknown fields of material parameters by m
eans of local fields which have analytical solutions for the wave equa
tions. We discuss the features of this approach in comparison with geo
tomographic imaging techniques. One dimensional analytical procedures
are represented in details while the 3D case is outlined in a sketch.
Geomechanics applications of the approach illuminate practical schemes
of measurements and data processing.
