Purpose This mathematical analysis has been accomplished for the purpose of understanding the propagation behaviour like phase velocity and attenuation of Love-type waves through visco-micropolar composite Earth’s structure. Design/methodology/approach The considered geometry of this problem involves a micropolar Voigt-type viscoelastic stratum imperfectly bonded to a heterogeneous Voigt-type viscoelastic substratum. With the aid of governing equations of motion of each individual medium and method of separation of variable, the components of micro-rotation and displacement have been obtained. Findings The boundary conditions of the presumed geometry at the free surface and at the interface, together with the obtained components of micro-rotation, displacement and mechanical stresses give rise to the determinant form of the dispersion relation. Moreover, some noteworthy cases have also been extrapolated in detail. Graphical interpretation irradiating the impact of viscoelasticity, micropolarity, heterogeneity and imperfectness on the phase velocity and attenuation of Love-type waves is the principal highlight of the present study. Practical implications In this study, the influence of the considered parameters such as micropolarity, viscoelasticity, heterogeneity, and imperfectness has been elucidated graphically on the phase velocity and attenuation of Love-type waves. It has been noticed from the graphs that with the rising magnitude of micropolarity and heterogeneity, the attenuation curves shift upwards, that is the loss of energy of these waves takes place in a rapid way. Hence, from the outcomes of the present analysis, it can be concluded that heterogeneous micropolar stratified media can serve as a helpful tool in increasing the attenuation or in other words, loss of energy of Love-type waves, thus reducing the devastating behaviour of these waves. Originality/value Till date, the mathematical modelling as well as vibrational analysis of Love-type waves in a viscoelastic substrate overloaded by visco-micropolar composite Earth’s structure with mechanical interfacial imperfection remain unattempted by researchers round the globe. The current analysis is an approach for studying the traversal traits of surface waves (here, Love-type waves) in a realistic stratified model of the Earth’s crust and may thus, serves as a dynamic paraphernalia in various domains like earthquake and geotechnical engineering; exploration geology and soil mechanics and many more, both in a conceptual as well as pragmatic manner.

Abstract The propagation of cylindrical Rayleigh waves in a trans- versely isotropic thermoelastic diffusive solid half-space subjected to stress free, isothermal/insulated and impermeable or isoconcentrated boundary conditions is investigated in the framework of different theories of ther- moelastic diffusion. The dispersion equation of cylindrical Rayleigh waves has been derived. The phase velocity and attenuation coefficients have been computed from the dispersion equation by using Muller’s method. Some special cases of dispersion equation are also deduced

The objective of this paper is to study the effect of rotation on the wave propagation in an infinite poroelastic hollow circular cylinder. The frequency equation for poroelastic hollow circular cylinder is obtained when the boundaries are stress free and is examined numerically. The frequency, phase velocity, and attenuation coefficient are calculated for a pervious surface for various values of rotation, wave number, and thickness of the cylinder which are presented for nonaxial symmetric vibrations for a pervious surface. The dispersion curves are plotted for the poroelastic elastic behavior of the poroelastic material. Results are discussed for poroelastic material. The results indicate that the effect of rotation, wave number, and thickness on the wave propagation in the hollow poroelastic circular cylinder is very pronounced.
