Abstract

The paper deals with overall reflection and transmission response of seismic P-waves in a multilayered medium where the whole medium is assumed to be dissipative and under uniform compressive initial stress. The layers are assumed to be homogeneous, each having different material properties. Using Biot's theory of incremental deformation, analytical solutions are obtained by matrix method. Numerical results for a stack of four layers - modelling earth's upper layers, show a decreasing trend in both the Reflection Coefficients RDPP and RDPS of the reflected P and S-waves.
