Abstract
In this paper, propagation of Rayleigh waves in a fluid-saturated porous solid is studied by using the couple-stress-based gradient theory, which incorporates the rotation gradient, and its work-conjugate counterpart, the couple-stress. In the frequency domain, wave equations involving a length parameter , that characterizes the microstructure of the material, are derived and, by using displacement potentials, coupled wave equations are reduced to four uncoupled wave equations governing the motions of -, -, -, and -waves. Based on the solutions of these equations, the dispersion equation for Rayleigh waves is obtained. Numerical results show that Rayleigh waves are dispersive at all frequencies in the range considered, unlike the velocity dispersion characterized by the classical theory, and the wave velocity is always higher than the conventional Rayleigh wave velocity. It is shown that the attenuation decreases as increases. The effects of porosity, the ratio of bulk modulus of the solid skeleton to the solid phase, and the length parameter on Rayleigh wave dispersion and attenuation are also investigated.
期刊介绍:
Wave Motion is devoted to the cross fertilization of ideas, and to stimulating interaction between workers in various research areas in which wave propagation phenomena play a dominant role. The description and analysis of wave propagation phenomena provides a unifying thread connecting diverse areas of engineering and the physical sciences such as acoustics, optics, geophysics, seismology, electromagnetic theory, solid and fluid mechanics.
The journal publishes papers on analytical, numerical and experimental methods. Papers that address fundamentally new topics in wave phenomena or develop wave propagation methods for solving direct and inverse problems are of interest to the journal.
