Three cases for 1-D wave propagation in ideal elastic rock, through single rock joint and multiple parallel rock joints are used to verify 1-D wave propagation in rocks. For the case for 1-D wave propagation through single rock joint, the magnitude of transmission coefficient obtained from UDEC results is compared with that obtained from the analytical solution. For 1-D wave propagation through multiple parallel joints, the magnitude of transmission coefficient obtained from UDEC results is compared with that obtained from the method of characteristics. For all these cases, UDEC results agree well with results from the analytical solutions and the method of characteristics. From these verification studies, it can be concluded that UDEC is capable of modeling 1-D dynamic problems in rocks.

The relationship between 2-D and 3-D wave propagation in horizontally layered media was first investigated by Dampney (1971). In the last few years the usefulness and feasibility of transforming point‐source responses with 3-D geometric spreading to equivalent line‐source responses with 2-D geometric spreading have been thoroughly discussed (see Helgesen, 1990; Wapenaar et al., 1990, 1992; Herrmann, 1992; Helgesen and Kolb, 1993; Amundsen, 1993). In the case of cylindrical symmetry this transformation constitutes a required preprocessing step for several seismic processing algorithms based on 2-D wave propagation. The work of Dampney (1971) has apparently been missed by the authors discussing the 3-D to 2-D geometric spreading transform.
