Abstract: | Summary In this paper the problem of disturbance in an elastic semi-infinite medium due to the torsional motion of a circular ring source on the free surface of a medium are studied. Two cases, when the medium is either homogeneous or inhomogeneous, are treated. In order to solve the problem, the Laplace transform and the Hankel transform and the Laplace inversion by Cagniard's method as modified byDe Hoop (1959) are applied. Finally, the integrals for displacement are evaluated numerically. The displacement on the free surface as a function of time is shown by means of graphs, in the case of both a homogeneous and an inhomogeneous medium, indicating clearly the variation in displacement due to the presence of an inhomogeneity. |
