Notes:
The paper studies the propagation of Rayleigh waves in an incompressible layer with general variation of rigidity as μ=μ0(1+bz)m resting over a homogeneous incompressible elastic half-space. Instead of using the Whittaker function, the expansion formula proposed by Newlands has been used for better results at shallow depths. As a particular case for m=1, the results have been shown to coincide with those obtained by Newlands. The velocities have been computed for different values of m and the results are presented in graphs.
