Love waves in heterogeneous transversely isotropic media
Author(s): Anita Sehrawat
Abstract: A problem of Love type of surface wave propagation
is considered in a laterally and vertically inhomogeneous transversely
isotropic elastic media consisting of a layer lying over a semi-infinite
half-space. The frequency equation is derived when the boundary of the upper
surface of the layer is loaded by some rigid structure such that here the
displacement is zero and the stresses do not vanish. The restriction imposed
for the existence of the real roots of the frequency equation on phase velocity
is obtained.
