Abstract

The effect of the structurally damaged isotropic surface layer on the free surface of an isotropic solid on the Rayleigh wave propagation has been considered. The phase velocity dispersion and inverse Rayleigh wave decay length in the second order of vanishing with respect to the ratio of the structurally damaged layer thickness to the wavelength have been obtained in an analytical form. For the dispersion and the inverse wave decay length, the long-wave limit has been studied when the wavelength is much larger than the characteristic size of layer inhomogeneity. The inverse decay length has been calculated numerically.
