The present article is devoted to a theoretical study on Love wave vibration in a pre-stressed fluid-saturated anisotropic porous viscoelastic medium embedded over an inhomogeneous isotropic half-space influenced by gravity. The expression of dispersion has been achieved with the help of mathematical tools such as variable separable method and Whittaker’s function’s expansion under certain boun...

The Kirchhoff-Love plate model is a widely used in the analysis of thin elastic plates. It is well known that Kirchhoff-Love solutions can be viewed as certain limits of displacements and stresses for elastic plates where the thickness tends to zero. In this paper, we consider the problem from a different point of view and derive computable upper bounds of the difference between the exact three...
