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.

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. ~145 IfANAS6WICH~ ER UNTV.

VI00, GTI, JAN. 1974, PI-13 • 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 onelime~sional wave propagation solution. i147 ~0RIZEK,RJ NORTHWESTERN UNIV.EVANSTON, ILL, USA ~CLEAN, FG ARMY WATERWAYS EXPT.

Utilizing a linearized theory of isbtropicl homogeneOus elasticity that includes the effects of initial stress, it is demonstrated that Raylelgh a1~ Love surface instabilities occur when the compresr,lve stress reaches appropriate critical values. It is suggested that these two instabilities may of far possible, although hi~aly idealizedj mechanisms fa:~ earthquake initiation and prehistoric land-mass formations such as mountain chains. Auth.

During field studies in 1970 and 1971 some reliei characteristics of the southern part of Victorls Land showed ir~lications of a sharp ch~u~ze (in time space) in the rate of rock weathering. The ;w st l~obable reason for this is a change in existing moisture conditions. This assumption h;~s been verified by l~boratory experiments.
