Normalizing Factor Role in Numerical Solution of the Seismic Waves Propagation Problem

abstract:
In this paper, we consider the problem of seismic wave propagation based on the homogeneous Helmholtz equation with two cylindrical tunnel inclusions under perfectly welded interface conditions. The exact analytical solution of the model is obtained using a boundary method that involves series expansions of incident and reflected SH waves in terms of cylindrical wave functions, as well as coordinate transformations between different reference systems.
We also examine the convergence of the approximate solution of the truncated system to the solution of the corresponding infinite system, and compute the relative error. This brief communication focuses on the role of introducing a normalizing coefficient in the truncation order of the resulting infinite block matrix equation in the study of seismic wave propagation boundary value problems for cylindrical inclusions in a half-space.
