Opis

This monograph focuses on the development of a §parameter identification technique for layered §systems on the basis of the spectral element method. §Forward and inverse models are introduced. The §forward model involves the simulation of wave §propagation in elastic, viscoelastic, porous and non-§homogeneous media. The inverse model involves the §utilization of three minimization techniques; §Factored secant update, Levenberg-Marquardt and §Powell hybrid.

O autorze

Al-Khoury s qualifications include a Ph.D., Cum Laude, in
Computational Mechanics from Delft University of Technology. The
current research area is focusing more on computational
geoenvironment, with an emphasis on geothermal energy and CO2
sequestration. Other research areas of interest are wave
propagation and inverse problems.
