%0 Journal Article %T Short Note: A note on Rayleigh-wave velocities as a function of the material parameters %A Peter G. Malischewsky Auning %J Geof¨ªsica internacional %D 2004 %I Universidad Nacional Aut¨®noma de M¨¦xico %X A new formula was proposed by Nkemzi (2003) for the Rayleigh-wave velocity in a homogeneous half-space. This formula may be derived from the earlier formula by Malischewsky (2000a) by a simple algebraic transformation. A similar transformation may be carried out for the complex roots as well. %K Phase velocity of Rayleigh waves %K material parameters %U http://www.geofisica.unam.mx/unid_apoyo/editorial/publicaciones/investigacion/geofisica_internacional/anteriores/2004/03/Malischewsky.pdf
