Waves in a Bed under Periodic Tangential Loading

The far-zone structure of the wave field in an elastic bed on a rigid foundation is considered. The wave field is generated by a tangential periodic force applied to the bed surface. The amplitude- frequency characteristics of surface vibrations for propagating modes are found. The partition of energy between different modes is considered.__________Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 46, No. 4, pp. 109–115, July– August, 2005.
