Dämpning av seismiska vågor

Sammanfattning: The aim of this project is to calculate the attenuation of seismic waves passing through the Earth's core by using given elastic constants and methods developed earlier and to see how we can interpret the crystallization of iron in that area by these results as well as a look at how sound waves propagate in solid and liquid substances, how the elastic properties of a material can affect the waves and how we can relate these to the attenuation. The attenuation inside Earth will also be described.
