摘要
We investigate the elastic waves excited by an arbitrary plane piezoelectric source on the surface of a multilayered medium. Based on the previous studies, the 2D elastic wavefield in the multilayered medium is extended to 3D space. The propagator matrix for the 3D wavefield is investigated and the displacement-stress response for the boundary conditions is obtained. The excitation and propagation of the Rayleigh and Love waves are analysed further. It is found that the propagation velocity of the Rayleigh and Love waves does not depend on the propagation azimuth θ in the plane parallel to the free surface of the multilayered medium while the displacement is strongly dependent on the azimuth θ.
