A comprehensive understanding of exact seismic P-wave reflection and transmission(R/T)coefficients at imperfectly welded or non-welded contact interfaces holds paramount importance in the realm of seismic exploration....A comprehensive understanding of exact seismic P-wave reflection and transmission(R/T)coefficients at imperfectly welded or non-welded contact interfaces holds paramount importance in the realm of seismic exploration.Nonetheless,scant attention has been devoted in previous literature to the investigation of stress-dependent exact R/T coefficients in horizontal transversely isotropic(HTI)media,characterized by a horizontal symmetry axis,at such interfaces.Addressing this scholarly gap,we present exact R/T coefficient formulations specifically tailored to an imperfectly welded contact interface separating two HTI media under the influence of in-situ horizontal stress.We begin by deriving the equation of motion for a stressed HTI medium,utilizing the theoretical framework of acoustoelasticity to examine the impact of in-situ horizontal stress on the overarching elastic properties of HTI media.Precise boundary conditions are then established at the imperfectly welded contact interface by applying generalized stress-strain relationships and linear-slip theory,with the influence of in-situ horizontal stress on the interface further explored through the linear-slip model.By integrating these elements with the seismic wave displacement equation,we derive exact R/T coefficient formulations applicable to an imperfectly welded contact interface between two HTI media.Numerical analyses are conducted to elucidate the effects of in-situ horizontal stress on critical parameters such as rock density,seismic wave velocity,Thomsen-type anisotropy parameters,R/T coefficients,and seismic reflection responses at the imperfectly welded contact interface.Furthermore,the proposed formulations are frequency-dependent,with the imperfectly welded contact interface acting as a frequency-selective filter for both reflected and transmitted waves.Notably,under conditions of sufficiently large incident angles,the sensitivity of R/T coefficients to key influencing factors increases significantly.The derived R/T coefficient formulations and the accompanying numerical results offer valuable insights for fracture characterization,stress-dependent parameter inversion,and in-situ stress detection.展开更多
