Based on complex function methods and a multipolar coordinate system, the scattering induced by a cylindrical cavity in a radially inhomogeneous half-space is investigated. Mass density of the half-space varies depending on the distance from the centre of the cavity while the shear modulus is always constant. The wave velocity is expressed as a function of radius vector and the Helmholtz equation is a partial differential equation with a variable coefficient. By means of a conformal mapping technique, the Helmholtz equation with a variable coefficient is transferred into its normal form. Then, displacement fields and corresponding stress components are deduced. Applying the boundary conditions, dynamic stress concentration factors around the cavity are obtained and analyzed. Typical numerical results are presented to demonstrate the distribution of dynamic stress concentration factors when influencing parameters are assumed.

Green functions of Helmholtz's equation in an impedance half space (IHS) can be computed using various methods, e.g. the method presented by S. N. Chandler-Wilde and D. C. Hothersall.1 The approach of W. L. Li, T. W. Wu and A. F. Seybert2 is simpler, but it can only be used in a mass-like IHS. In this paper, the method is reformulated so that it can also be used in a stiffness-like IHS. Numerical experiments indicate that the method yields reliable results.

This paper presents  a technique by which the transfer matrix in explicit form of an orthotropic layer can be easily obtained. This transfer matrix is applicable for both the wave propagation problem and the reflection/transmission problem. The obtained transfer matrix is then employed to derive the explicit secular equation of Rayleigh waves propagating in an orthotropic half-space coated by an orthotropic layer of arbitrary thickness.
