| Abstract: | In the paper by Chattopadhyay and Rajneesh (2006, “Reflection and refraction of waves at the interface of an isotropic medium
over a highly anisotropic medium’, Acta Geophysica, vol. 54, no. 3, pp. 239–249), the authors proposed a process to calculate
R/T (reflection and transmission) coefficients at the interface between isotropic and triclinic half-spaces, with incident qP waves in triclinic media. Unfortunately, besides several misprints, the authors made a fatal assumption that there is no
transmitted SH wave generated in isotropic media, which led the successive analytical derivations and numerical calculations thoroughly
wrong. In this paper, the errors are analyzed at length and corrections are given. Then an alternative approach to solve the
problem is proposed and numerical results are shown and discussed. |
