A-2 ELASTODYNAMIC EQUATION IN TERMS OF POTENTIALS<br />

The elastodynamic equation for isotropic media is<br />

??u (x , t ) f ( 2 ) u ( x , t ) u ( x , t ) , (2.1 again)<br />

A point explosion source ( t ) is located at r=0 and z=0, which satisfies<br />

( r ) ( z )<br />

f [ ( t )<br />

r<br />

] , (A-2.1)<br />

where relationship ( x ) ( y ) (z ) (r ) ( z ) / r (Bracewell, 1986, Page 85) is used. The<br />

displacement u can be represented in terms of potentials, i.e.,<br />

u (r , z, t ) , (2.2 again)<br />

where and are P wave and S wave potentials, respectively. Substituting equations<br />

(2.2) into the elastodynamic equation (2.1), we obtain<br />
