A problem of frictionless contact between the running Rayleigh wave and a rigid strip is investigated. The corresponding mixed boundary value problem of elastodynamics is reduced to a system of dual series equations involving trigonometric functions. On the base of the closed-form solution obtained, explicit analytic expressions for distributions of normal displacements and stresses and of tangential velocities on the surface have been derived.
