Surface wave generation by buried forces in a half space

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The method of explicit expansion in normal modes is applied to derive expressions for the Rayleigh waves generated by distributions of buried transient and harmonic forces. The derived expressions are conceptually clear, and relatively simple.
