Gravitational effect on surface waves in a homogeneous fibre-reinforced anisotropic general viscoelastic media of higher and fractional order with voids

Abstract

In this paper, gravitational effects on propagation of surface waves in a homogeneous fibrereinforced anisotropic general viscoelastic media of higher order with voids is investigated. The general surface wave speed is derived to study the effects of gravity on surface waves. Particular cases for Stoneley and Rayleigh waves are discussed. The results obtained in this investigation are more general in the sense that some earlier published results are obtained from our result as special cases. In the absence of voids our results for viscoelastic of order zero are well agreement to fibre-reinforced materials. Also by neglecting the reinforced elastic parameters, the results reduce to well known isotropic medium. Numerical results for particular materials are given and illustrated graphically. The results indicate that the effect of the gravitational, voids and the reinforced elastic parameters on surface waves are very pronounced.

Analysis of dispersion and absorption characteristics of shear waves in sinusoidally corrugated elastic medium with void pores

“…Singh [6] studied the reflection and transmission of couple longitudinal waves at a plane interface between two dissimilar half-spaces of thermo-elastic materials with voids. Khan et al [7] observed the gravitational effect on surface waves in homogeneous fibrereinforced anisotropic general viscoelastic media of higher and fractional order with voids. Rani et al [8] studied the torsional vibrations of initially stressed composite poroelastic cylinders.…”

Analysis of integrated effect of irregularity and corrugated interfaces of doubly layered half space on torsional surface wave propagation

“…These elements are so tightly connected to one another that there is no mutual mobility across them. Some commendable models signifying the properties of fiber composites and their impact are included in other studies [21][22][23]. Viscoelasticity is a ubiquitous feature of diverse crustal rocks that makes it a significant contribution to seismic wave attenuation.…”
