Fne propagation of Rayleigh waves in a half-space
and the propagation of Love waves in a welded layer
and half-space are examined when initial tensile
c~ concessive stresses are present. Using the
perturbed and lir~arized equations of elasticity~
~odified R a y l e ~ h anl Love equations are obtained.
The solution of the equations shows a dramatic
change in the phase speeds of the two wave types
under initial tension or compression. Numerical
~esults are presented. Auth.

~xpressions identical to the fcrmttlas of a preceding
paper, (G. Jobert, Seigmol. Soc. Am~r. Bull. V62,
Pll07-1112~ 1972), are obtained when due allowance
is m~de for the variation of quantities which were
erroneously taken as constant. A method for the
~pprnx!mate inversion of the travel-tlme curves is
presented for the case where the surfaces of equal
weloclty are ~lanes with an infinitesimal dip. Auth.

An analytical procedure for the evaluation of the
selsmic response of soil deposits is presented.
This procedure permits the use of straln-dependent
modulus and damping values for each element in a
~inlte element representation of the deposit. Its
ase in demonstrated for a 10Oft layer of sand and
hhe results are compared with those from a one-
lime~sional wave propagation solution.

Utilizing a linearized theory of isbtropicl homo-
geneOus elasticity that includes the effects of
initial stress, it is demonstrated that Raylelgh a1~
Love surface instabilities occur when the compresr,lve

Several methods of analysing short-period seismic
records, with the purpose of detecting multiple
events, are compared. The methods evaluated
include ~rlsual analysis of the array-beam sUms,
n~ultichannel matched filtering, autocorrelation
analysis, and cepstral analysis.
