In this article, a diffuse field in a solid medium is found to partition its energy between transverse and dilatational waves in a fraction R = 2(cd/ct)3.
Abstract
A diffuse field in a solid medium is found to partition its energy between transverse and dilatational waves in a fraction R = 2(cd/ct)3. Energy flow rates from a diffuse field into a surface transducer from dilatational, transverse, and surface waves are compared. The relevance of the diffuse field concept for acoustic emission is discussed.

Emergence of broadband Rayleigh waves from correlations of the ambient seismic noise.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that coherent information about the Earth structure can be extracted from the ambient seismic noise using a cross-correlations of vertical component records of several days of seismic noise at different pairs of stations separated by distances from about one hundred to more than two thousand kilometers.

Long-range correlations in the diffuse seismic coda.

TL;DR: This seismological example shows that diffuse waves produced by distant sources are sufficient to retrieve direct waves between two perfectly located points of observation and has potential applications in other fields.

On the emergence of the Green's function in the correlations of a diffuse field

TL;DR: It is shown that a diffuse field is not devoid of phase information, but has a correlation function equal to the Green's function, and the cross-correlation between diffuse signals in two transducers is very nearly equal to an impulse applied to the other.

Transport equations for elastic and other waves in random media

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived and analyzed transport equations for the energy density of waves of any kind in a random medium, taking account of nonuniformities of the background medium, scattering by random inhomogeneities, polarization effects, coupling of different types of waves, etc.

On the emergence of the Green's function in the correlations of a diffuse field: pulse-echo using thermal phonons.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the cross-correlation between diffuse signals in two transducers is very nearly equal to the direct response of one transducer to an impulse applied to the other.
