Numerical Study of Properties of Quasilocal Plane Waves of the Modal Type in the Case of a Thin Low-Velocity Layer that is in Contact with an Elastic Half-Space

Numerical study of properties of quasilocal plane waves of the modal type propagating deep into a medium is carried out with the example of the model of a low-velocity elastic layer in the case of rigid contact with the underlying half-space. It is established that the genesis of these waves is closely related to singular complex roots of the dispersion equation of the problem. Eighteen variants of the model differing by relative parameters of the problem, which have a physical meaning, are considered. For every variant, seismograms of modal and body waves are computed and a comparison of them in intensity is carried out. Bibliography: 4 titles. Dedicated to P. V.

Diffraction of Progressing Waves by a Screen

Problems of diffraction of a time-dependent wave by a planescreen of arbitrary shape are discussed. The method is basedon the progressing wave formalism which is a time-dependentversion of the geometrical theory of diffraction and yieldsapproximate solutions of diffraction problems. The diffractionproblem is formulated as an initial-boundary value problem forthe scalar wave equation. The solution is obtained by generalizinga "uniform" asymptotic solution recently found for the time-harmoniccase. These solutions are free of the anomalous singularitiesat the shadow boundaries and at the edge of the screen whichare present in the solutions constructed by the geometricaltheory of diffraction.     

Surface Waves on a Cavity in a Semiinfinite Elastic Medium

Biot [5] examined the propagation of waves along the free surface of a cylindrical cavity in an elastic body of infinite extent and obtained a dispersion relation for the velocity of this wave in terms of the ratio of the wavelength to the cavity diameter. This paper contains solutions for waves in a semiinfinite elastic medium with a cylindrical cavity with axially symmetric harmonic loading of the plane surface. The solutions are expressed in terms of Lame potentials which are represented by combinations of integrals containing trigonometric kernels and kernels of Weber transforms. A solution is obtained for volume waves and Biot waves. The relative velocity and relative length of surface waves are studied as functions of the loading frequency.
