On Deformation of the Earth's Surface under the Influence of a Travelling Disturbance I

抄録

We have calculated the deformation of the earth's surface when a disturbance travels on it with a uniform velocity under conditions that the disturbance exerts only pressure which is uniformly distributed over a circular domain of the surface and its speed is less than that of Rayleigh wave. The deformation is symmetric in back and forth of the disturbance and it is shown that the obtained result agrees with those which were obtained already inspecial cases
