Surface waves propagation in a homogeneous liquid layer overlying a monoclinic half-space

Abstract

This article includes an analytical investigation of the surface waves propagation in a uniform liquid layer overlying a homogeneous anisotropic (monoclinic) half-space. The waves are allowed to propagate through the interface, i.e., between the layer and the medium. Basic arithmetic procedures are employed to derive the dispersion equation for surface waves propagation. A comprising study is accomplished through numerical estimation to study the behavior of surface waves. Further analysis of surface waves in the absence of a liquid layer manifests that the phase velocity equation loses its dispersity like waves propagation in an isotropic medium. Some particular cases are extracted from the dispersion equation by taking correspondence with the results. Graphical software has been emerged to establish a criterion for the usefulness of several parameters discussed.
