A mathematical model is presented to investigate the effects of sandiness, irregular boundary interfaces, heterogeneity and viscoelasticity on the phase velocity of Love waves. Geometry of the problem is consisting of an initially stressed viscoelastic layer with corrugated irregular boundaries, which is sandwiched between heterogeneous orthotropic semi-infinite half-space with initial stress a...

The paper studies the possibility of propagation of torsional surface waves in an elastic layer with void pores over an elastic medium with void pores using the mechanics of the medium as derived by Cowin and Nunziato. The velocity equation has been derived and the results have been discussed. The study reveals that there may be more than one torsional surface wave fronts and one Love wave fron...

We consider the anti-plane shear waves in a domain consisting of an infinite layer with thin coating lying on elastic half-space. The properties coating, layer, and half-space are assumed to be different. On free upper surface we assume compatibility condition within Gurtin–Murdoch elasticity, whereas at plane interface perfect contact. For this problem there exist two possible regimes related ...

This paper studies axially symmetric vibrations of a liquid-filled poroelastic thin cylinder saturated with two immiscible liquids of infinite extent that is surrounded by an inviscid elastic liquid. By considering the stress free boundaries, the frequency equation is obtained. Particular case, namely, liquid-filled poroelastic cylinder saturated with single liquid is discussed.  When the waven...

In this study, the Boundary Element Method (BEM) was employed for numerical determination of response a layered half-space. The material behaviour soil assumed to be isotropic and linear elastic. BEM used in Fourier transform space (FTS). focus paper is determine stress deflection distributions interior points To achieve aim, computer program developed three-dimensional elastic or visco-elastic...
