Abstract

This paper deals with the propagation of Love-type wave in a composite isotropic structure embraced of tri layers elastic medium overlying a semi-infinite elastic medium. The heterogeneity is caused due to the variation of linear, exponential, and quadratic with respect to the depth. Modified Bessel function with Debye Asymptotic Expansion approach is used to achieve closed form of dispersion equation analytically and found to be in well agreement to the classical Love wave equation. Numerical computation has been carried out to accomplish the graphical demonstration to unravel some important peculiarities of wave number associated in presence or absence of layers medium and effect of heterogeneities on phase velocity of Love-type wave.
