✦ Synopsis

The paper studies the propagation of Rayleigh waves in an incompressible layer with general variation of rigidity as p = po(l + bz)" resting over a homogeneous incompressible elastic half-space. Instead of using the Whittaker function, the expansion formula proposed by Newlands3 has been used for better results at shallow depths. As a particular case for m = 1, the results have been shown to coincide with those obtained by new land^.^ The velocities have been computed for different values of m and the results are presented in graphs.

The paper discusses the propagation of torsional surface wave in a homogeneous substratum over a half-space with linearly varying rigidity and density. The study reveals that under assumed conditions, a torsional surface wave propagates in the medium. The velocities of torsional surface waves have b
