Summary
The paper deals with surface waves propagating through a periodic two-layered elastic half-space. The analysis is performed on the basis of a homogenized model with microlocal parameters. The velocity of the surface wave is obtained as a function of geometric and dynamic properties of the subsequent layers. The numerical examples illustrating the variations of the surface wave velocity are presented.
