Reconstruction of Inhomogeneities of a Medium During Microseismic Sounding Along a Curvilinear Surface

Abstract

The paper presents the results of numerical two-dimensional modeling of Rayleigh wave propagation along the curvilinear boundary of a solid ideal medium with a contrasting inclusion. It is shown that ignoring the influence of both a convex and concave relief when interpreting microseismic sounding data can lead to errors for a wide range of reliefs and contrast between an inclusion and the surrounding medium; additional corrections during data processing make it possible to account for or even eliminate these errors in the entire considered parameter range.
