CRUSTAL REFLECTION OF P AND SV WAVES,

Abstract

Expressions in terms of layer matrices have been derived for the motion of the free surface when plane harmonic P or SV waves are incident at any given angle at the base of a horizontally layered crust. A computer program has been written to calculate normalized surface dis placements as functions of horizontal phase velocity (or angle of incidence) and wave period. Numerical values have been obtained for the same single-layered model of the continental crust for which the corresponding calculations for SH waves have been presented previously. (Author)
