Modeling of shear horizontal waves propagation in magneto-electro-elastic substrate loaded with complex conductive fluid

Abstract

In this study, the dissipation and dispersion of shear horizontal (SH) wave in magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) materials overlying an elastic half-space loaded with a complex conductive fluid have been investigated. The complex dispersive relation of SH waves for magnetic short and magnetic open cases has been derived using an exact analytical approach. The derived dispersive relations have been theoretically and graphically validated against previous work. The study explores the impact of geometrical parameters, frequency, conductivity, and permittivity of the complex conductive fluid on the phase velocity and attenuation of SH waves.
