On the origin and energy of oscillatory earthquake waves

Fu, C. Y.

Abstract

A critical survey of the different modes of generation of oscillatory earthquake waves is given. The consequences of the failure of Hooke's law on the dispersion of waves is indicated. The energy of an earthquake is considered from the theory of elasticity with a discussion of Sezawa's result.
