Waves in a saturated porous half-space. Part 2

Abstract

The problem formulated for a porous saturated medium is a direct analog of the previously studied problem for composite materials. To solve the problem, the Laplace time-transform is used. The analysis of the integrands in the inverse transform is nontrivial and, unfortunately, cannot be stated briefly. Therefore, Part 1 [3] was completed with general observations of the inverse transform. Part 2 contains a detailed description of how originals are found and physical conclusions on the correspondence of the stationary part of the solution to plane harmonic compression–tension waves with the frequency of a given harmonic pulse, on damping of all waves, and on two types of nonstationary waves
