Abstract

In a recent paper by Tanuma and Man, a two-term asymptotic formula was derived for the speed of surface waves propagating in an anisotropic elastic half-space whose elastic moduli differ only slightly from those for a (base) isotropic elastic material. This formula disagrees with that derived by Delsanto and Clark in an earlier paper using a different method. In this short note, we use a simple procedure to derive another two-term asymptotic formula for the surface-wave speed. Our formula takes the same compact form even if the base material is generally anisotropic. We show that when an error in the work of Delsanto and Clark is corrected, the three different methods do give equivalent results.
