Problem 2.14a
Show that, when $ {\mathbf {\sigma =0.25} } $, the Rayleigh‐wave potentials, equation (2.14c), become
$ {\begin{aligned}{\mathbf {\phi =Ae^{-0.847\kappa z}e^{\mathrm {j} \kappa \left(x-V_{R}t\right)}} },\end{aligned}} $
and
$ {\begin{aligned}{\mathbf {\chi =1.466jAe^{-0.394{\kappa z}}e^{j\kappa \left(x-V_{R}t\right)}} },\end{aligned}} $
and that the displacements $ {u} $ and $ {w} $ at depth $ {z} $ are
$ {\begin{aligned}{u}&={\mathbf {\kappa A\left(-e^{-0.847\kappa z}+0.578e^{-0.394{\kappa z}}\right)\sin \kappa \left(x-V_{R}t\right)} },\end{aligned}} $ ()
$ {\begin{aligned}{w}&={\mathbf {\kappa A\left(-0.847e^{-0.847\kappa z}+1.466e^{-0.394{\kappa z}}\right)\cos \kappa \left(x-V_{R}t\right)} }.\end{aligned}} $ ()
Background
When a medium is divided by the $ xy $-plane into two semi-infinite media having different properties, surface waves are propagated parallel to the $ xy $-plane, the amplitude decreasing with increasing distance from the plane. When one medium is a solid and the other a vacuum, the surface wave is known as a Rayleigh wave. The near-equivalent at the surface of the real earth, a pseudo-Rayleigh wave, is called ground roll.
We take the potential functions of equation (2.9b) in the form
$ {\begin{aligned}\mathrm {\phi } =Ae^{-m\mathrm {\kappa } z}e^{j\mathrm {\kappa } \left(x-V_{R}t\right)}\;,\;\chi =Be^{-n\mathrm {\kappa } z}e^{j\mathrm {\kappa } \left(x-V_{R}t\right)},\end{aligned}} $ ()
where the $ z $-axis is positive downward, $ m $ and Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): n are real positive constants (so that the amplitudes decrease as Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): z increases) and Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): V_{R} is the Rayleigh-wave velocity. We can take either the real or the imaginary parts of the functions as a solution, the only difference being the phase. When we substitute these functions in the P- and S-wave equations [equation (2.5a) with Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): \mathrm{\psi} replaced with Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): \Delta and Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): \mathrm{\theta}_{y} , respectively), we find that $ m $ and Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): n must satisfy the equations
Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): \begin{align} m^{2} =\left[1-\left(V_{R} /\mathrm{\alpha} \right)^{2} \right]\;, \; n^{2} =\left[1-\left(V_{R} /\mathrm{\beta} \right)^{2} \right]. \end{align} ()
Because both Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): m and Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): n must be real, Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): V_{R} <\mathrm{\beta} <\mathrm{\alpha} .
When we apply the boundary conditions of problem 2.10b, we find that

and that the velocity Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): V_{R} is a root of the equation

Solution
When Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): \mathrm{\sigma} =0.25, V_{R} /\mathrm{\beta} =0.919 , $ (\mathrm {\beta } /\mathrm {\alpha } )^{2}=\left(1-2\mathrm {\sigma } \right)/2\left(1-\mathrm {\sigma } \right)=1/3 $, and Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): \left(V_{R} /\mathrm{\alpha} \right)=\left(V_{R} /\mathrm{\beta} \right)\times \left(\mathrm{\beta} /\mathrm{\alpha} \right)=0.919/\sqrt{3} =0.531 . Using these values, equation (2.14d) gives Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): m= 0.848 , Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): n=0.393 ; also, Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): B=2\mathrm{j}m/\left(1+n^{2} \right)A=1.468\mathrm{j}A ; the j indicates that Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): \mathrm{\phi} and Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): \mathrm{\chi} are Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): 90^{\circ} out of phase. The potential functions are now

Taking the real part of the solution (see Sheriff and Geldart, 1995, Section 15.1.5) we obtain

When Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): x and Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): z are fixed, the argument of Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): \cot \mathrm{\kappa} \left(x-V_{R} t\right) decreases as Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): t increases, and so the cotangent increases, that is, the angle Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): \mathrm{\theta} in Figure 2.14a also increases. Because the wave is progressing in the positive direction of the Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): x -axis, this counter-clockwise rotation is said to be retrograde. For the motion not to be retrograde, Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): \mathrm{\theta} must change sign, and thus Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): \left(-w/u\right) must also change sign, that is, either $ u $ or Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): w but not both must change signs.

Since Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): \mathrm{\kappa} z is always positive, Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): w can never be zero.

Solution
From Figure 2.14b we find that Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): V_{R} /\mathrm{\beta} \approx 0.95 when Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): \mathrm{\sigma} =0.4 and Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): V_{R} /\mathrm{\beta} \approx 0.92 when Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): \mathrm{\sigma} =0.2 . To get more accurate values, we solve equation (2.14e) using one of the standard methods of solving cubic equations.
