Properties of Elastic Waves in a Non-Newtonian (Maxwell) Fluid-Saturated Porous Medium

The present study investigates novelties brought into the classic Biot’s theory of propagation of elastic waves in a fluid-saturated porous solid by inclusion of non-Newtonian effects that are important, for example, for hydrocarbons. Based on our previous results (Tsiklauri and Beresnev, 2001), we investigated the propagation of rotational and dilatational elastic waves by calculating their ph...

Stress Waves in a Generalized Thermo Elastic Polygonal Plate of Inner and Outer Cross Sections

The stress wave propagation in a generalized thermoelastic polygonal plate of inner and outer cross sections is studied using the Fourier expansion collocation method. The wave equation of motion based on two-dimensional theory of elasticity is applied under the plane strain assumption of generalized thermoelastic plate of polygonal shape, composed of homogeneous isotropic material.  The freque...

Transference of SH-Waves in Fluid Saturated Porous Medium Sandwiched Between Heterogeneous Half-Spaces

A mathematical model is considered to investigate the behavior of horizontally polarized shear waves (SH-waves) in fluid saturated porous medium sandwiched between heterogeneous half-spaces. Heterogeneity in the upper half-space is due to linear variation of elastic parameters, whereas quadratic variation has been considered for lower half-space. The method of separation of variables and Whitta...
