An in-depth analysis of various types of seismic waves, focusing on surface waves and ground roll. It covers the fundamental modes, dispersion relationships, and boundary conditions for rayleigh and love waves. The document also includes equations for wave propagation and the zoeppritz equations.

Boundary conditions
In this case
After some work we get:
๐ด ๐ + 2 ๐ ๐๐ผ^2 + ๐๐^2 + 2 ๐๐๐๐ฝ = 0 ๐ด 2 ๐๐๐ผ + ๐ต ๐^2 โ ๐๐ฝ^2 = 0 (9)
Zoepprtiz
๐ + 2 ๐ ๐๐ผ^2 + ๐๐^2 2 ๐๐๐๐ฝ 2 ๐๐๐ผ ๐^2 โ ๐๐ฝ^2
Trivial solution is ๐จ = ๐ฉ = ๐
Non-trivial solution leads to:
๐ + 2 ๐ ๐๐ผ^2 + ๐๐^2 ๐^2 โ ๐๐ฝ^2 โ 2 ๐๐๐ผ ( 2 ๐๐๐๐ฝ ) = 0 (11)
This expression; Rayleigh wave denominator (Rayleigh, 1887), can be written looking at wave speeds, but usually done numerically assuming a Poissonโs medium (ฮป=ฮผ) and ๏ก ๏ฝ 3 ๏ข. This scaling will help to simplify the above equation.
