Abstract
The problem of the propagation of Rayleigh waves in a system consisting of a liquid layer of finite depth overlying a semi-infinite half-space of monoclinic crystal is solved. The same problem in a hexagonal crystalline medium overlying an orthorhombic, cubic and monoclinic crystals is considered. The dispersion equations are derived and discussed. Some limiting cases are considered. Lastly, the effects of gravity on the wave propagation in crystalline media are investigated.
