Detection of point-like scatterers using one type of scattered elastic waves
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we are concerned with the detection of point-like obstacles using elastic waves. We show that one type of waves, either the P or the S scattered waves, is enough for localizing the points. We also show how the use of S incident waves gives better resolution than the P waves. These affirmations are demonstrated by several numerical examples using a MUSIC type algorithm.

A Data Focusing method for Microwave Imaging of Extended Targets
This paper presents a data focusing method (DFM) to image extended targets using the multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm. The restriction on the number of transmitter-receiver antennas in a microwave imaging system deteriorates profiling an extended target that comprises many point scatterers. Under such situation, the subspace-based linear inverse scattering methods, like the MUSI...

techniques that are used, for example, in radar and in seismic exploration. If one knows the arrival time of a singly scattered wave, along with its velocity and direction of propagation, one can determine the location of the scatterer. For multiply scattered waves it is more difficult to determine the locations of the scatterers because the waves propagate over many possible scattering traject...
متن کاملOn an inverse elastic wave imaging scheme for nearly incompressible materials
This paper is devoted to the algorithmic development of inverse elastic scattering problems. We focus on reconstructing the locations and shapes of elastic scatterers with known dictionary data for the nearly incompressible materials. The scatterers include non-penetrable rigid obstacles and penetrable mediums, and we use time-harmonic elastic point signals as the incident input waves. The scat...

We present results of 3D numerical modeling using a series of simple point scatterers to create synthetic seismic shot records collected over regular, discrete, vertical fracture systems. The background medium is taken to be constant velocity. The model contains a series of point scatterers delineating the top tip and bottom tip of each vertical fracture. We use these results to gain an underst...
متن کاملEffective wavenumbers and reflection coefficients for an elastic medium containing random configurations of cylindrical scatterers
Propagation of P and SV waves in an elastic solid containing randomly distributed inclusions in a half-space is investigated. The approach is based on a multiple scattering analysis similar to the one proposed by Fikioris and Waterman for scalar waves. The characteristic equation, the solution of which yields the effective wave numbers of coherent elastic waves, is obtained in an explicit form ...
