| Sumario: | The propagation of elastic body waves in anisotropic media has been studied extensively in the past century, and some attention has been also devoted to a kind of surface waves of the type, but not really Rayleigh waves. The used methods used were cumbersome; therefore only particular cases were considered. Here we consider true Rayleigh waves defined as in the case of isotropic media, and give an exact easy method for studying them in any medium. Applying it to some orthorhombic, transversely, isotropic and thorough isotropic medium we found that the Rayleigh wave are possible only in the last of them. |
