Abstract

ABSTRACT

The only restriction on the values of the elasticity parameters is the stability condition. Within this condition, we examine the Christoffel equation for nondetached slowness surfaces in transversely isotropic media. If the  slowness surface is detached, each root of the solubility condition corresponds to a distinct smooth wavefront. If the  slowness surface is nondetached, the roots are elliptical but do not correspond to distinct wavefronts; also, the and slowness surfaces are not smooth.
