Modelling of Love Waves in a Heterogeneous Medium Demarcated by Functionally Graded Piezoelectric Layer and Size-Dependent Micropolar Half-Space

Nonlinear Love-Type Waves in a Heterogeneous Layer Sandwitched Between TwoSemi-Infinite Media

“…Dutta [23] also derived the roots of the dispersion relation of Love-type waves for two different cases where the heterogeneity in layer is represented as the hyperbolic and quadratic functions of thickness variable, respectively. Throughout the years, studies on Love-Type wave propagation in different layer-half space models and in especial sandwich structures including heterogeneity have increasingly continued due to extensive applications area such as geophysics, geodynamics, materials science, continuum mechanics, biomechanics and acoustic, see [5,6,7,8,21,28,29,31,32,33,38,41,42] and the references there in for more detailed information. Ghazaryan and Piliposyan [26] investigate the existence of Love Typewaves with either sinusoidally or non-sinusoidally changing amplitude in a nonhomogeneous layer between two elastic half spaces for hyperbolic and trigonometric types of vertical inhomogeneity, respectively.…”
