Abstract
The present paper discusses the dispersion equation for horizontally polarized shear waves (SH waves) in a non-homogeneous self-reinforced layer over a semi infinite self-reinforced medium with an irregularity. The dispersion equation has been obtained in closed form. In the isotropic case, when non homogeneity and irregularity are absent, the dispersion equation reduces to standard SH wave equation. The dispersion curves have been presented by means of graphs for different sizes of irregularity and different values of non-homogeneity parameters. The influence of depth of irregularity and non-homogeneity parameters on phase velocity has been studied.
