Abstract

Many attempts have been made to quantify the propagation and interaction of elastic waves. Woods [1], for example, examined the role of trenches in isolating a building from vibration. Dally and Lewis [2] studied the effects of a slit on a propagating Rayleigh wave through the use of dynamic photoelasticity. Gupta and Kisslinger [3] observed the surface displacements in an explosively generated Rayleigh wave, by modeling a half space with a plane and employing capacitor probes to measure the vertical and radial displacement. DeBremaecker [4] studied the transmission and reflection of Rayleigh waves at corners. All of the above have their shortcomings.
