Pure and Applied Geophysics PAGEOPH Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The wave velocity equation in the form of a ninth order determinantal expression is derived appropriate to Rayleigh type waves in a granular half-space supporting a different granular layer. The calssical frequency equation when both media are elastic has been deduced as a particular case by limiting process.
