Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The second edition of Principles of Seismology has been extensively revised and updated to present a modern approach to observation seismology and the theory behind digital seismograms. It includes: a new chapter on Earthquakes, Earth's structure and dynamics; a considerably revised chapter on instrumentation, with new material on processing of modern digital seismograms and a list of website hosting data and seismological software; and 100 end-of-chapter problems. The fundamental physical concepts on which seismic theory is based are explained in full detail with step-by-step development of the mathematical derivations, demonstrating the relationship between motions recorded in digital seismograms and the mechanics of deformable bodies. With chapter introductions and summaries, numerous examples, newly drafted illustrations and new color figures, and an updated bibliography and reference list, this intermediate-level textbook is designed to help students develop the skills to tackle real research problems.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The scientific study of earthquakes and the propagation of elastic waves through the Earth or other planet like bodies is referred to as seismology. It also includes the environmental effects of the earthquake such as tsunamis. The elastic waves that propagate in fluid or solid materials are known as seismic waves. Some of the different types of seismic waves studied within this field are body waves, surface waves and normal modes. Body waves travel through the interior of the materials. Surface waves travel along surfaces or interfaces between materials. Normal modes are a form of standing wave. This book provides significant information of this discipline to help develop a good understanding of seismology and related fields. It brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates the unexplored aspects of this field. Experts and students actively engaged in this field will find this book full of crucial and unexplored concepts.…

Library label of the Yorkshire Philosophical Society tipped in on half-titles and their small stamp on title-pages and the margin or edge of each plate, minor dampstain in lower corner of first few leaves of volume 2. FIRST EDITION. The first book on seismology, a term coined by Mallet, who realised that among the ?fractured walls and overthrown objects scattered in all directions? that resulted from an earthquake was ?the most precious data for determining the velocities and directions of the shocks that produced them. The idea of applying number and measure to these never seems to have occurred to?[earlier reporters of earthquakes]. As this method of seismic observation, then, is novel, I trust to show that it has proved fruitful in result, in this its very first application to nature?? (pp. 8?9). Mallet persuaded the Royal Society to sponsor him to investigate on the spot the great Neapolitan earthquake of 16th December 1857. His report would have occupied an entire volume of the Philosophical Transactions so it was published as the present book. It is extraordinarily detailed and richly illustrated with tinted lithographed plates, woodcuts, maps and diagrams. Mallet (1810?1881), an engineer from Dublin, began his work on seismology in 1845. ?His classic paper to the Royal Irish Academy in 1846 on earthquake dynamics is regarded as one of the foundations of modern seismology. He investigated the great Neapolitan earthquake of December 1857 and established the first principles of observational seismology? (ODNB).…
