Learning Outcomes
After successfully complete this course the students will have understood the proccess through which an earthquake produces elastic waves, the properties of each kind of the produced seismic (elastic) waves, the way these waves deform the media through which they are transmitted as well as the characteristics of the forced oscillation of the rocks due to this transmission.
General Competences
  • Apply knowledge in practice
  • Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
Course Content (Syllabus)
Mechanical oscillations (harmonic oscillation, superposition of harmonic oscillations, analysis of oscillations, free oscillation, free oscillation with damping, forced oscillation). Theory of elasticity (stress, strain, stress-strain relationship). Elastic waves (wave equation, body waves, surface waves).
