Abstract
In this chapter we study the elastic waves behavior in discretely layered solid media. The basic equations and boundary conditions for this problem were discussed in Sect. 1.3. Because the propagation of shear waves of horizontal polarization in a layered solid is independent of that of waves of vertical polarization and is formally analogous to the propagation of sound waves in liquid, in this chapter we shall consider only the case of vertical polarization.
