Rayleigh Waves: Velocity, Attenuation with Depth and Elliptical Polarization
In 1887, Lord Rayleigh published a theory of a surface wave that later became known as the Rayleigh wave. The main features of this wave are its attenuation with depth and the fact that its velocity is always less than the S-wave velocity. Classical textbooks on elastic waves propagation and seismol...
