Abstract:The presented paper is concerned with the propagation of Rayleigh waves in an orthotropic elastic half-space overlaid by an orthotropic elastic layer of arbitrary thickness. The layer and the half-space may be compressible or incompressible and they are in sliding contact with each other. The main aim of the paper is to derive explicit exact secular equations of the wave for four possible combinations: both the layer and the half-space are compressible or incompressible, one is compressible and the other is in… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
