The motion excited by an impulsive source in an elastic half-space with a surface obstacle

DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING SCIENCES TEL-AVIV UNIVERSITY, RAMAT-AVIV, Israel

Abstract

An elastic half-space having a surface obstacle of slightly different elastic constants whose deviation and shape of boundaries are small is considered. By combining a perturbation method and a finite difference solution, the motion of the half-space due to an impulsive source is given. Results show that Rayleigh and reflected waves are highly influenced by the existence of the obstacle and could give some indications for screening purposes of elastic waves.
