ملخص: The propagation of quasi-Rayleigh waves along an impedance-loaded plane boundary of an isotropic elastic half-space is studied theoretically. The dispersion equation of these waves is derived with allowance for the fact that an impedance load has both normal and tangential components. The conditions for the existence of such waves are analyzed depending on the magnitude and nature of each of these components. Specific examples of calculating the quasi-Rayleigh wave velocities are considered: for the models of surface and bulk cracked media, for a fluid layer in an elastic medium, and for a resonant load.
