Abstract
In the first half of this paper, we construct asymptotic solutions of linear anisotropic elastic equations. In the latter half, we investigate waves reflected by boundaries for plane incident waves in terms of these solutions. Especially, it is examined whether or not the mode-conversion occurs near points where the incident waves hit the boundaries perpendicularly.
