Abstract

The well studied, high-frequency Rayleigh waves polarized in a plane normal to a cross section of the surface of an inhomogeneous elastic body with phase speed close to the speed of transverse waves are generalized to the case of the time-dependent equations of elasticity. For the wave field uniform asymptotics are obtained in the form of space-time ray expansions of two types: with a real eikonal (for transverse waves diffracted at the surface) and with a complex eikonal (for a longitudinal wave damped away from the surface).
