In the present paper we apply the theory~ 1]* of the superposition of infinitesimal deformations on finite deformations in an isotropic elastic material to the study of the propagation of surface waves in a semi-infinite body which is subjected to a static, pure homogeneous deformation. Waves of the type discovered by RAYLEIGIt [21 are first examined. It is seen that the motion does not differ essentially from that formulated by RAYLEIGH on the basis of classical elasticity theory. There is no dispersion, as might be expected, since no fundamental length is involved either in the dimensions of the body or in the deformations it undergoes. Also, the motion is two-dimensional in the sense that there is no displacement transverse to the direction of propagation of the waves. A form of strain-energy function, equivalent to that used by MURNAGHAN [3], is employed in obtaining the correction, due to an initial small pure homogeneous deformation, in the frequency of propagation of waves of this type. The method, outlined by RIVLIN [4], of deducing the results for an incompressible body in second-order elasticity theory, from the corresponding second-order results for a compressible one, is used to obtain in explicit form the displacement components for the case of an incompressible body. The possibility of having surface waves with transverse horizontal movement in a semi-infinite body, subjected to a pure homogeneous deformation, is next discussed. We find that such waves may not be propagated in a principal direction unless stringent conditions are imposed on the strain-energy function. Then, following Love [5], we assume that there rests on the semi-infinite body a layer of material with properties differing from those of the semi-infinite body and subjected to a different pure homogeneous deformation. The principal directions are taken to be the same in the layer as in the subjacent body. An infinitesimal deformation is superimposed on the composite body and conditions for the existence of Love-type waves are sought. The conditions obtained are similar to those found by LOVE.
