چکیده
The propagation of Love waves in a non-homogeneous layer of finite thickness lying over an isotropic semi-infinite medium is discussed in this study. It is assumed that density and rigidity are space dependent and obey the laws (1+cosz), μ=μ0 (1+cosz), where ‘’is a scaling parameter. The method of variable separation, substitution method for solving the second order partial differential equation has been used for finding the general solution of the problem. The dispersion of love waves is also discussed.

Effect of Initial Stress on Propagation of Love Waves in an Anisotropic Porous Layer
In the present paper, effect of initial stresses on the propagation of Love waves has been investigated in a fluid saturated, anisotropic, porous layer lying in welded contact over a prestressed, non-homogeneous elastic half space. The dispersion equation of phase velocity has been derived. It has been found that the phase velocity of Love waves is considerably influenced by porosity and anisot...

The present problem deals with the propagation of Love-type surface waves in a bedded structure comprises of an inhomogeneous orthotropic layer and an elastic half-space. The upper boundary and the interface between two media are considered to be corrugated. An analytical method (separation of variables) is adapted to solve the second order PDEs, which governs the equations of motion. Equations...
