Abstract
This paper aims to study the dispersion of torsional surface waves in a crustal layer being sandwiched between a rigid boundary plane and a sandy mantle In the mantle rigidity and initial stress vary linearly while density remains constant Dispersion relation has been deduced in a closed form by means of variable separable method in the form of Whittaker function The velocity equation for isotropic layer over a homogeneous halfspace has been obtained which coincides with the standard result of Love wave under the effect of rigid boundary
