The present paper studies the fundamental solution and plane wave propagation in swelling porous thermoelastic material. It is observed that there exist three longitudinal waves and two transversal waves propagating with different velocities. Numerical computations are performed to obtain the phase velocity and attenuation coefficients of plane waves in the medium and the values so obtained are presented graphically. By means of elementary functions for swelling porous thermoelastic medium in case of steady oscillations, the fundamental solution is obtained. Some basic properties of this solution are established and special cases are also deduced.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
