peak frequency 1KHz. Figures 3.4b gives the seismograms calculated by the generalized<br />
R/T matrices method presented in this chapter. Figure 3.4c is taken from Bouchon<br />
(1993) for comparison. It can be seen that main features of Figures 3.4b and 3.4c are the<br />
same. Figure 3.4b (generalized R/T matrices method) seems have less numerical noise<br />
than Figure 3.4c (boundary element method), especially for the later arrivals. As<br />
mentioned earlier, if there is discontinuity in the vertical direction, the solution given in<br />
this chapter is approximated, i.e., the P-S and S-P conversions at horizontal interfaces are<br />
not included in this case. Considering this approximation, the agreement of the<br />
comparison is fair. The low velocity layer exhibits a significant influence on the wave<br />
field. The tube wave converts to P and S waves at the boundaries. The wave field within<br />
the low velocity zone is very complicated.<br />
