The theory of the response of strain and vectorial seismographs to surface waves is reviewed and extended. Preliminary observations are discussed.

The problem of propagation of plane wave including body and surface waves propagating in a transversely isotropic half-space with a depth-wise axis of material symmetry is investigated in details. Using the advantage of representation of displacement fields in terms of two complete scalar potential functions, the coupled equations of motion are uncoupled and reduced to two independent equations...

In the present paper, the propagation of surface wave in a generalized thermoelastic solid with voids is considered. The governing equations are solved to obtain the general solution in x-z plane. The appropriate boundary conditions at an interface between two dissimilar half-spaces are satisfied by appropriate particular solutions to obtain the frequency equation of the surface wave in the med...

A theory is presented for computing waves radiated from waves on a smooth surface. With the assumption that attenuation of the surface wave is due only to radiation and not to dissipation in the surface material, the radiation coe cient is derived in terms of the attenuation factor. The excitation coe cient is determined by the reciprocity condition. Formulas for the shape and the spreading of ...

Equations are derived to approximately describe the propagation of small amplitude surface and interfacial waves across small irregularities in depth in a two-layer fluid. When the irregularities are sinusoidal, Bragg interaction effects between an incident surface wave and the bottom corrugations can lead to a large-amplitude reflected interfacial wave or a large-amplitude transmitted interfac...

The proposed work investigates quantitatively the interaction between wave, currents and seabed sediments in shallow water over a bed characterized by heterogeneous, mud-dominated sediments. The long-term goal of is to develop an approach to characterize accurately the state of a muddy sea bed, based on minimal prior information about bed sediment, and remote observations of surface waves and c...
