โฆ Synopsis
The analysis deals with the Love wave propagation problem for an elastic half-space with a superficial layer the material properties of which are random functions. The solution for the dispersion equation and the average displacement are presented in the form of mathematical expressions. The method used is that of Karal and Keller, and is based on the Bourret approximation.

The intensity of shear waves in the model of a multilayered stratum, the material properties of which are random functions, is considered. The solutions for displacements and stresses are obtained for one layer and then the formulation is extended to a multilayered stratum through transfer matrices.
