| Abstract |
This study investigates the behaviour of Love wave propagation within a transversely isotropic fluid saturated porous layer (TIFSPL) with rigid boundary, situated over a nonhomogeneous elastic half space. An irregularity in the shape of parabola is considered at the interface of porous layer and
half space. The displacement vector and dispersion equation for propagation of Loves waves has been
derived by applying Biot’s theory of elasticity, perturbation method, and Fourier Transformation
method. The numerical results have been carried out to illustrate the variation of dimensionless phase
velocity against dimensionless wavenumber with the help of MATLAB graphical routines for different
values of inhomogeneity parameters and the ratio of depth of irregularity to the layer’s height. It has
been observed that the derived dispersion equation for Love waves is affected by rigidity, wavenumber,
depth of irregularity, height of layer, size and shape of irregularity, and inhomogeneity parameter. The
findings from this study holds a significant importance in the field of seismology, geophysics and
earthquake engineering. |
