Abstract

AbstractPropagation of a Love wave in an initially stressed fluid-saturated anisotropic porous layer with an irregular boundary sandwiched between two isotropic half-spaces has been studied. The irregularity is assumed to be rectangular, and the perturbation method is used to obtain the displacement field in the porous layer. Finally, the dispersion relation for the assumed model is obtained, and the result is compared with those derived for the flat layer theory. The effect of porosity, initial stress, and irregularity of the porous layer in phase velocity is studied and shown graphically.
