Abstract :
The present investigation deals with the propagation of Rayleigh wave in an
incompressible medium bonded between two half-spaces. Variation in elastic
parameters of the layer is taken linear form. The solution for layer and halfspace
are obtained analytically. Frequency equation for Rayleigh waves has
been obtained. It is observed that the heterogeneity and width of the
incompressible medium has significant effect on the phase velocity of Rayleigh
waves. Some particular cases have been deduced. Results have been presented
by the means of graph. Also the findings are exhibited through graphical
representation and surface plot.
