TY - BOOK AU - Apostol, Bogdan Felix TI - Introduction to the theory of earthquakes SN - 9789392299346 PY - 2022/// CY - New Delhi PB - Cambridge International Science Publishing KW - Earthquakes KW - Elastic wave theory KW - Seismic waves KW - Tensor analysis N2 - This little book is a brief introduction to the main themes of the earth-quakes physics described more extensively in author's larger book Theory of Earthquakes. Both books are motivated by the need felt by the author that earthquakes physics deserves a treatment carried with the more adequate and powerful methods of the theoretical physics, in particular the theory of elasticity and equations of mathematical physics. Such a treatment is not to be found in the current seismological literature; this literature is motivated by authors knowledge of solving certain problems, not by real physical phenomena related to earthquakes ER -
