Theory of Rayleigh Wave Scattering by Mass Defects and Surface Roughness.

Abstract

A Green's function method has been used to obtain an expression for the mean free path of a Rayleigh wave propagating along a planar free surface of an isotropic elastic continuum and scattered by a mass defect or a patch of surface roughness.
