TLDR
In this article, a horizontally layered inhomogeneous medium is considered, whose properties are constant or nearly so when averaged over some vertical height l′, and conditions on the five elastic coefficients of a homogeneous transversely isotropic medium are derived which are necessary and sufficient for the medium to be "long-wave equivalent" to a horizontally-layered inhomogenous medium.Abstract:
A horizontally layered inhomogeneous medium, isotropic or transversely isotropic, is considered, whose properties are constant or nearly so when averaged over some vertical height l′. For waves longer than l′ the medium is shown to behave like a homogeneous, or nearly homogeneous, transversely isotropic medium whose density is the average density and whose elastic coefficients are algebraic combinations of averages of algebraic combinations of the elastic coefficients of the original medium. The nearly homogeneous medium is said to be ‘long-wave equivalent’ to the original medium. Conditions on the five elastic coefficients of a homogeneous transversely isotropic medium are derived which are necessary and sufficient for the medium to be ‘long-wave equivalent’ to a horizontally layered isotropic medium. Further conditions are also derived which are necessary and sufficient for the homogeneous medium to be ‘long-wave equivalent’ to a horizontally layered isotropic medium consisting of only two different homogeneous isotropic materials. Except in singular cases, if the latter two-layered medium exists at all, its proportions and elastic coefficients are uniquely determined by the elastic coefficients of the homogeneous transversely isotropic medium. The observed variations in crustal P-wave velocity with depth, obtained from well logs, are shown to be large enough to explain some of the observed crustal anisotropies as due to layering of isotropic material.read more

Analysis of Frequency-Dependent Anisotropy in VSP Data
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effects of dispersion in the seismic frequency band, particularly in connection with fracture zones, and found broad evidence in support of anisotropic dispersion: P-wave attenuation, the frequency dependence of the time delay between split shear waves, and attenuation of the slow shear wave compared to the fast one.

Pore fluid and porosity mapping from seismic
Jack Dvorkin,S. Alkhater +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a rational-rock-physics approach was used to map porosity in a large producing gas/oil reservoir using only stacked seismic data via inversion, and the results showed that the porosity trend can be used to identify the pore fluid from seismic data only, without using offset information.

Wave propagation in a stratified medium
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived the wave equation from the stress-strain relations and the equation of motion, and showed that there are in general three characteristic velocities, all functions of the direction of the propagation.

Elastic wave propagation in layered anisotropic media
TL;DR: In this article, the dispersion properties of transversely isotropic media were analyzed for a single solid layer in vacuo and a single layer in contact with a fluid halfspace, and the single layer solutions were generalized to n-layer media by the use of Haskell matrices.
