SH-waves in viscoelastic heterogeneous layer over half-space with self-weight

Modelling of Love-type waves in an elastic layer sandwiched between viscous liquid half space and size dependent couple stress substrate

“…Vikstrom and Voinova (2016) investigated surface acoustic waves with horizontal polarization (SH-SAWs) propagating in a three-layer system consisting of an elastic substrate and two viscoelastic overlayers. The effect of gravity, heterogeneity and internal friction on propagation of SH-waves (horizontally polarised shear waves) in a viscoelastic layer over a half-space was studied by Sahu et al (2014).…”

SH-Wave at a Plane Interface between Homogeneous and Inhomogeneous Fibre-Reinforced Elastic Half-Spaces

“…The amplitude and energy ratios corresponding to the reflected and refracted SH-waves are given by (26) and (29) with the following modified values:…”

“…Chattopadhyay and Singh [13] studied the problem of -type seismic waves in fibre-reinforced media and obtained the dispersion equation for the propagation of -type seismic wave in fibre-reinforced layer lying over an inhomogeneous fibre-reinforced elastic half-space. Literatures showed many problems of propagation of SH-waves and notable among them are Bath and Arroyo [14], Gupta [15], Tomar et al [16], Kumar et al [17], Chaudhary et al [18,19], Emets et al [20], Chattopadhyay and Michel [21], Tomar and Singh [22], Tomar and Kaur [23,24], Abd-Alla and Alsheikh [25], Chattopadhyay et al [26], Singh [27], Wang and Zhao [28], and Sahu et al [29].…”

A comparative analysis due to the effect of point source on generation of SH wave

“…Chattopadhyay et al (2010) studied the propagation of SH wave in an irregular viscoelastic layer overlying a semi-infinite half-space. The propagation of SH wave in a viscoelastic heterogeneous layer lying over a half-space having self-weight is discussed by Sahu et al (2014). The blemish of perceptibility of materials such as metals, concrete, soil and mud cannot be disregarded in the Earth's crust.…”
