✦ Synopsis

III this paper, the medium parameters of the elastic wave equation in inhomoeeneous medium are rewritten by introducing the referentia! variables and the perturbational variables, and the wave equation whose sources are the medium parameter perturbational term in homogeneous medium is obtained. By using the Green function theory, the integral equation of the perturbational parameters is obtained. Then the displacement field in homogeneous medium is considered the result of the first iteration, and the displacement field is solved by this integral equation. When the perturbations of medium parameters are about 50 percent, this method can solve the displacement field effectively. From the analysis of the numerical results, the characteristics, of wave field in inhomogeneous medium are obtained. The resultr conjorm with the local principles oj' wuve ,fikction in inhomogeneous medium.
