In this paper, we investigated analytically the frequency equations for shear horizontal wave propagation in a piezoelectric half space covered by a semiconductor film with initial stress effect. The semiconducting layer is influenced by initial stress and the interface between the piezoelectric substrate and the semiconductor layer. The governing equations of the mechanical displacement and electrical potential function under the effect of initial stress are obtained by solving the coupled electromechanical field equations of the piezoelectric half-space and the semiconductor film. Next, the numerical examples are presented to illustrate the influence of initial stress and electromagnetic boundary conditions for the different values of the film thickness and wave number. Furthermore, we studied in more details the effect of initial stress on the frequency equation for piezoelectric Barium Titanate (BaTiO3) and semiconductor silicon. The obtained results provide a predictable and theoretical basis for applications of piezoelectric and semiconductor composites to acoustic wave devices.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of reinforcement, inhomogeneity and initial stress on the propagation of shear waves. The problem consists of magneto poroelastic medium sandwiched between self-reinforced medium and poroelastic half space. Using Biot’s theory of wave propagation, the frequency equation is obtained. Design/methodology/approach Shear wave propagation in magneto poroelastic medium embedded between a self-reinforced medium and poroelastic half space is investigated. This particular setup is quite possible in the Earth crust. All the three media are assumed to be inhomogeneous under initial stress. The significant effects of initial stress and inhomogeneity parameters of individual media have been studied. Findings Phase velocity is computed against wavenumber for various values of self-reinforcement, heterogeneity parameter and initial stress. Classical elasticity results are deduced as a particular case of the present study. Also in the absence of inhomogeneity and initial stress, frequency equation is discussed. Graphical representation is made to exhibit the results. Originality/value Shear wave propagation in magneto poroelastic medium embedded between a self-reinforced medium, and poroelastic half space are investigated in presence of initial stress, and inhomogeneity parameter. For heterogeneous poroelastic half space, the Whittaker’s solution is obtained. From the numerical results, it is observed that heterogeneity parameter, inhomogeneity parameter and reinforcement parameter have significant influences on the wave characteristics. In addition, frequency equation is discussed in absence of inhomogeneity and initial stress. For the validation purpose, numerical results are also computed for a particular case.

From the numerical results, it is clear that as wavenumber varies phase velocity and attenuation are periodic in nature for all the cases. Particular cases are discussed in absence of dissipation. This kind of analysis can be extended to any elastic solid by taking magnetic, thermo and piezoelectric effects into account.

AbstractAn analytical model is presented to study the behaviour of propagation of torsional surface waves in initially stressed porous layer, sandwiched between an orthotropic half-space with initial stress and pre-stressed inhomogeneous anisotropic half-space. The boundary surfaces of the layer and halfspaces are taken as corrugated, as well as loosely bonded. The heterogeneity of the lower half-space is due to trigonometric variation in elastic parameters of the pre-stressed inhomogeneous anisotropic medium. Expression for dispersion relation has been obtained in closed form for the present analytical model to observe the effect of undulation parameter, flatness parameter and porosity on the propagation of torsional surface waves. The obtained dispersion relation is found to be in well agreement with classical Love wave equation for a particular case. The cases of ideally smooth interface and welded interface have also been analysed. Numerical example and graphical illustrations are made to demonstrate notable effect of initial stress, wave number, heterogeneity parameter and initial stress on the phase velocity of torsional surface waves.

Abstract. The governing equations of generalized magneto-thermoelasticity with hydrostatic initial stress are solved for surface wave solutions. The particular solutions in the half-space are applied to the boundary conditions at the free surface of the half-space to obtain the frequency equation of Rayleigh wave. The frequency equation is approximated for small thermal coupling and small reduced frequency. The velocity of propagation and amplitude-attenuation factor of Rayleigh wave are computed numerically for a particular material. Effects of magnetic field and hydrostatic initial stress on the velocity of the propagation and amplitude-attenuation factor are shown graphically.

abstract The characteristic frequency equation for Love waves propagating in a finite layer overlying an anisotropic and inhomogeneous half-space is derived. This frequency equation takes into account the arbitrary variation of density, elastic parameters, and degree of anisotropy factor in the half-space. In fact, the problem of deriving the frequency equation has been reduced to finding the solution of the equation of motion subject to the appropriate boundary conditions. To illustrate the method, the author has derived the frequency equation for a generalized power law variation of density and elastic parameters with the depth, in the halfspace. As a step toward the systematic investigation of the effects of anisotropy and inhomogeneity, the relationship between the wave number and phase and group velocities has been worked out for increasing, uniform and decreasing anisotropy factor. The pronounced effects of anisotropy have been noticed in the long-period range compared to the short-period one. The numerical analysis shows that for a given phase velocity (or group velocity), the period of propagation depends on the sign and magnitude of power of variation of the density and anisotropy factor in the half-space. For the increased positive rate of variation of the anisotropy factor, the values of phase and group velocities have been found higher whereas the reverse is found true for an increasing negative rate of variation of the anisotropy factor.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of corrugation, wave number, initial stress and the heterogeneity of the media on the phase velocity of the Love-type wave. Moreover, the paper aims to have a comparative study of the presence and absence of anisotropy, heterogeneity, corrugation and initial stress in the half-space, which serve as a focal theme of the study. Design/methodology/approach The present paper modelled the propagation of the Love-type wave in a corrugated heterogeneous monoclinic layer lying over an initially stressed heterogeneous transversely isotropic half-space. The method of separation of variables is used to procure the dispersion relation. Findings The closed form of dispersion relation is obtained and found to be in well agreement to the classical Love wave equation. Neglecting the corrugation at either of the boundary surfaces, expressions of the phase velocity of the Love-type wave are deduced in closed form as special cases of the problem. It is established through the numerical computation of the obtained relation that the concerned affecting parameters have significant impact on the phase velocity of the Love-type wave. Also, a comparative study shows that the anisotropic case favours more to the phase velocity as comparison to the isotropic case. Originality/value Although many attempts have been made to study the effect of corrugated boundaries on reflection and refraction of seismic waves, but the effect of corrugated boundaries on the dispersion of surface wave (which are dispersive in nature) propagating through mediums pertaining various incredible features still needs to be investigated.

abstract The problem of the Rayleigh wave propagation in a solid layer overlying a solid half space separated by a sinusoidal interface is investigated. The amplitude of the interface is assumed to be small in comparison to the average thickness of the layer or the wave length of the interface. Either by applying Rayleigh's approximate method or by perturbating the boundary conditions at the sinusoidal interface, plane wave solutions for the equations which satisfy the given boundary conditions are found to form a system of linear equations. These equations may be expressed in a determinant form. The period (or characteristic) equations for the first and second approximation of the wave number k are obtained. The phase and group velocities of Rayleigh waves in the present case depend upon both frequency and distance. At a given point on the surface, there is a local phase and local group velocity of Rayleigh waves that is independent of the direction of wave propagation.
