Abstract

In this paper the propagation of the plane waves in a two dimensional randomly stratified transversely isotropic elastic medium are considered. Two cases viz. one for longitudinal and another for transversely plane waves are considered. The reflection and refraction coefficient are obtained. The numerical results are shown graphically for various values of angle of inclinations.
