Summary

Chapter 6 studies vector wave scattering in random elastic media. The Born approximation leads to PP, PS, SP, and SS scattering coefficients, from each of which we construct the corresponding PRNG of scattering angles. Using these in MC simulations, we synthesize three-component RMS velocity amplitude time traces for the radiation from a point shear dislocation (PSD) source. The simulation results are compared with the ensemble average of FD simulation results in random elastic media for a given power spectral density function.
