Summary The extension of Thomson–Haskell method to generally stratified media is studied. The separation of SH and P‐SV waves is shown to be possible only for spherical, circular cylindrical and parallel plane stratifications. For stratifications differing but slightly from these types a perturbation method is proposed. It implies the simultaneous evaluation of the effects of a dislocation field and of a body force field.
