Simulating Shear Wave Propagation in Two-Dimensional Fractured Heterogeneous Media by Coupling Boundary Element and Finite Difference Methods

A hybrid method to model the shear wave (SH) scattering from 2D fractures embedded in a heterogeneous medium is developed by coupling Boundary Element Method (BEM) and Finite Different Method (FDM) in the frequency domain. FDM is used to propagate an SH wave from a source through heterogeneities to...
