Stress wave tomography

Stress wave tomography is a geophysical imaging technique used to visualize the internal structure of materials, particularly in the context of civil engineering, geotechnical investigations, and exploration geophysics. This method employs stress waves—such as seismic waves or ultrasonic waves—to assess the material properties and detect anomalies or variations within an object or geological formation. ### Key Elements of Stress Wave Tomography: 1. **Principle**: The method relies on the propagation of stress waves through a medium.
