SURFACE WAVES IN DEFORMED ELASTIC MATERIALS
Abstract
The theory (Proc. Roy. Soc. A, 211:128, 1952) of the superposition of infinitesimal deformations on finite deformations in an isotropic elastic material is applied to the study of the propagation of surface waves in a semi-infinite body which is subjected to a static, pure homogeneous deformation. The possibility of having surface waves with transverse horizontal movement in a semi-infinite body, subjected to a pure homogeneous deformation, is discussed. We find that such waves may not be propagated in a principal direction unless stringent conditions are imposed on the strain-energy function. (Author)
