Transmission and reflection of Rayleigh waves at vertical boundaries

Abstract: The reflection and transmission coefficients for Rayleigh waves propagating from one type of wave guide to another can be computed by an approximate variational method. The method can be applied to Rayleigh waves that are normally incident on vertical discontinuities in any plane layered structure. The coefficients are computed for two‐dimensional monochromatic Rayleigh waves. The method has been used to compute reflection and transmission coefficients for two simple cases—a step discontinuity of the free surf… Show more

“…Nolet et al 1989), but may be fully complex in the case of Rayleigh waves. Indications to the existence of Rayleigh modes with complex wavenumbers a r e given by Achenbach (1973) andMiklowitz (1966). In contrast t o modes with real wavenumbers, complex modes may be interpreted as being confined to a narrow sheet, required t o represent near-field displacements near a source o r a discontinuity.…”
