Becase of the symmetry of the stress and stran tensors and the thermodynamc consderatons, only 1 of these components are ndependent. The 1 components are necessary to specfy the stress-stran relatonshp for the most general form of an elastc sold.

The Sesmc Wave Eqaton n Isotropc Meda If velocty s only a fncton of depth, then the materal can be modeled as a seres of homogeneos layers. Wthn each layer, there are no gradents n the Lames parameters and so these terms go to zero. The standard form for sesmc wave eqaton n homogeneos meda s : ρ ( ).

Short Smmary We ntrodced defntons of Stress and Stran and the relatonshp between them. We depend on Newton s nd law to get the eqaton of moton and from t we Derve the general form of Elastc wave eqaton. We smplfy t to the standard form by modelng the materal as seres of homogeneos layers. We dscssed two types of waves P-waves(Compressonal) S-waves(Shear) Fnally, f we assme no shearng then we redced t to an acostc wave eqaton.
