A modification of cagniard’s method for solving seismic pulse problems

  • Published:
Applied Scientific Research, Section B

Summary

A modification of Cagniard’s method for solving seismic pulse problems is given. In order to give a clear picture of our method, two simple problems are solved, viz. the determination of the scalar cylindrical wave generated by an impulsive line source and the scalar spherical wave generated by an impulsive point source.
