Problem 3.4a
Derive Zoeppritz’s equations for an SV-wave incident on a solid/solid interface.
Solution
Figure 3.1a defines the positive directions of displacements except that the incident P-wave is replaced by an incident SV-wave whose positive direction is down and to the left (the same as that 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/":): B_{2}) ). Using the same symbols as in equations (3.1b,c), we define the following functions:

For an SH-wave traveling in 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/":): xz -plane, the wave motion involves only displacement 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 parallel to 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/":): y -axis where 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=v\left(x,\; z,\; t\right) . We take the incident, reflected, and refracted waves in the form [see equations (3.1b,c,d,e)]
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} v_{1} &=C_{0} e^{\mathrm{j}\omega p\left(x-z\cot \delta_{1} \right)} + C_{1} e^{\mathrm{j}\omega p\left(x+z\cot \delta_{1} \right)},\\ v_{2} &=C_{2} e^{\mathrm{j}\omega p\left(x-z\cot \delta_{2} \right)}. \end{align}
The boundary conditions require that the tangential displacement and tangential stress be continuous at $ z=0 $. The first condition gives

The tangential stress is 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/":): \sigma _{yz} (note 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/":): \sigma _{xz} =0 ), where
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} \sigma _{yz} =\mu \varepsilon _{yz} =\mu \left(\frac{\partial v}{\partial z} +\frac{\partial w}{\partial y} \right)=\mu \frac{\partial v}{\partial z}. \end{align}
Recalling that we can take 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/":): \partial /\partial x=+1 , 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/":): \partial /\partial z=\pm \cot \delta_{i} [see equation (3.2g)], we get

Solving equations (3.4a,b), we find
