Abstract

The attenuation of Rayleigh waves due to their interaction with resonating structures randomly distributed on the surface of a semi-infinite elastic medium is calculated along with the Rayleigh wave frequency. The resonating structures are modeled by single oscillators coupled to the displacement field at the surface of the elastic medium. Using the coherent potential approximation, the dependence of the frequency and damping constant of the Rayleigh waves on wave vectors are determined for various values of the concentration of oscillators on the surface.
