Quasi-static Planar Deformation in a Medium Composed of Elastic and Thermoelastic Solid Half Spaces Due to Seismic Sources in an Elastic Solid

Quasi-Static Deformation of a Uniform Thermoelastic Half –Space Due to Seismic Sources and Heat Source

This paper investigates the quasi-static plane deformation of an isotropic thermoelastic half-space due to buried seismic sources and heat source. Governing equations of thermo-elasticity are solved to obtain solutions for seismic sources in a thermoelastic half-space. The general solutions are acquired with the aid of Laplace and Fourier transforms and with the use of boundary conditions. The ...

Elastic Wave Propagation at Imperfect Boundary of Micropolar Elastic Solid and Fluid Saturated Porous Solid Half-Space

This paper deals with the reflection and transmission of elastic waves from imperfect interface separating a micropolar elastic solid half-space and a fluid saturated porous solid half-space. Longitudinal and transverse waves impinge obliquely at the interface. Amplitude ratios of various reflected and transmitted waves are obtained and computed numerically for a specific model and results obta...

Rayleigh Wave in an Incompressible Fibre-Reinforced Elastic Solid Half-Space

In this paper, the equation of motion for an incompressible transversely isotropic fibre-reinforced elastic solid is derived in terms of a scalar function.   The general solution of the equation of motion is obtained, which satisfies the required radiation condition.  The appropriate traction free boundary conditions are also satisfied by the solution to obtain the required secular equation for...

On the Energy of Deformation of an Elastic Solid.

In the theory of elasticity as at present accepted' it is assumed that the energy of deformation is a function of the strain components and the various types of crystalline media are distinguished from one another and from an isotropic medium by the form of this function. It is the object of the present note to show that the mere assumption that the energy of deformation is a function of the st...
