Summary
The possibility of propagation of Love-waves in a non-homogeneous internal stratum internal stratum of finite depth sandwitched between two semi-infinite isotropic media has been studied in this paper. The density and rigidity both are considered to be variable, density being taken as
ϱ0 and μ0 are constants. The velocity β=c2 is taken here as constant\( = \surd \overline {\mu 2} /\varrho 2 = \surd \overline {\mu 0} /\varrho 0\). It is found that the phase velocityc exists between the limitc 2<c≦(1.121c 2). The variability ofKH (whereK, the wave number andH, the depth of the internal medium) with the change ofc/c 2 andC/c 2 (whereC is the group velocity) is shown graphically.
