Abstract

The solution technique is based on the representation of the plane linear elastodynamic problem by two reduced wave potentials for both, the half-space and the wedge. Following Herrera's theory, appropriate bases of connectivity conditions are adopted for both these regions, which provide a c-complete system of solutions for the problem. Finally, by discretizing the boundary between the half-space and the wedge, as well as the free boundaries of the half-space and the wedge we formally solve the problem in the least-square sense. The resulting formulas, if encoded in a computer program, will yield the amplitudes of the reflected and transmitted surface waves - along the half-space boundary - as well as the amplitude of the newly generated surface wave along the free boundary of the wedge, and scattered fields of the longitudinal and transverse waves in the half-space and the wedge.
