In accord with special requirements in engineering exploration, both the theory and the application of the surface wave method require further study and investigation.Synthesizing three major factors of half-space multilayer media, namely elasticity. viscosity and anisotropy, the present paper, using finite element method, established the surface wave frequency divergent equation for this sort of complex media model, and analysed main characteristics of the frequency divergent equation. Such a discussion contributes to the improvement of surface wave exploration technique in engineering exploration.
