Abstract

In this paper, we consider the energy behaviour of Rayleigh surface waves in a homogeneous isotropic 3-dimensional half space with free boundary condition. It is known that Rayleigh waves with finite energy are asymptotically concentrated along the boundary. We clarify the domain where the energy of the Rayleigh waves concentrates and obtain the decay order of the energy distributed in the complement of the domain.
