(X,Y,Z) observation coordinate system

(X,Y) : horizontal plane
Z : vertical (depth) direction

(X’,Y’,Z’) coordinate system with :

Z’ is the symmetry axis of the TI medium
(X’,Y’) is the isotopy plane with Y’ in the strike
direction of the isotropy plane
 is the dip angle  is the strike angle of the
isotropy plane

 Equations of motion for general TI medium

D is symmetric with all elements generally not equal to zero.

When the axis of symmetry of the TI medium is in the (X,Z) plane
(=90deg) D has the form

Only in this case qP and qSV decouple from the SH-wave motion (Zhu and Dorman)

 Equations of motion for general TI medium

If the symmetry axis of the TI medium is in the (X,Z)-plane

or the strike direction of the isotropy plane is perpendicular to
the X-axis (=90deg), then the D matrix is of the previous and the wave
equations become

Note that the SH-wave motion decouples from the

displacement in the (X,Z) plane
