Abstract

The aim of the present paper is to investigate the propagation of surface waves in a non-homogeneous, orthotropic elastic solid medium under the influence of initial compression and gravity. The wave velocity equation has been obtained. When the gravity field and non-homogeneity of the material medium vanishes, the medium is isotropic and unstressed, the frequency equation is in complete agreement with the corresponding classical results
