Abstract :
Elastic wave propagation in plane strain in a periodically layered helf space is considered, with the layering parallel to the bounding traction-free plane.Attention is focused on surface waves of the Rayleigh-type propagating parallel to the bounding plane. It is found that such waves are highly dispersive and that higher branches may be discontinuos.
