LOVE WAVES IN A NONHOMOGENEOUS INTERNAL STRATUM LYING BETWEEN TWO SEMI‐INFINITE ISOTROPIC MEDIA

Abstract

This paper studies the possibility of propagation of Love waves in a nonhomogeneous internal stratum of finite depth lying between two semi‐infinite isotropic media in two different cases. In one case the rigidity and density vary as [Formula: see text] and in the other case as [Formula: see text], where λ is a constant and z is the depth measured from the common interface of the upper medium and the internal stratum.
