Abstract
We present a theoretical study of the attenuation of Rayleigh waves as a consequence of their interaction with surface inhomogeneities. The frequency and correlation‐length dependence of the attenuation rate is calculated explicitly based on a Gaussian‐distributed fluctuation for the mass density and for the Lamé coefficients in terms of the Green’s function method. All the surface modes of elastic waves are considered in the attenuation processes.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
