The paper presents a study of time-harmonic surface waves in a linearly inhomogeneous half-space. The study is based on the solution of that problem for an arbitrary (from 0 to 1/2) value of Poisson's ratio.

β¦ Synopsis
In this paper, time-harmonic axisymmetric vibration of an incompressible viscoelastic half-space having shear modulus linearly increasing with depth is studied. The half-space is subjected to a vertical time-harmonic load on its surface. Numerical results concerning surface displacements due to a point force are given for the case of non-zero shear modulus at the surface. Hankel's transforms of the solutions have an infinite number of poles lying on the real axis of the complex plane in the non-dissipative case. A suitable contour of integration is used to avoid all the singularities. Calculations are performed for the dynamic as well as for the static case. In addition, vertical vibrations of a rigid disk on the considered half-space are investigated, and the influence of the non-homogeneity on the dynamic stiffness of the loaded area is demonstrated.

The problem of non-stationary vibrations of an infinite elastic plate of constant thickness resting on an elastic isotropic half-space is solved. The equations of the plate motion take the rotary inertia and transverse shear deformations into account. Both welded and smooth contact between layer and
In the first part of this paper solutions are developed for the response of a non-homogeneous half-space subjected to either a surface point load or a surface line load. The non-homogeneity considered is a variation in Young's modulus (E) with depth (z) which takes the form E = m , f where mE is a c
