Abstract:

This research examines to study the Love-type surface waves move through a heterogeneous layer of viscoporoelastic material that rests on a viscoporoelastic half-space. Both regions are different in their characteristics namely like heterogeneities, density fluctuations, porosity, and viscosity. Applying the boundary conditions and corresponding equations of motion, an expression for the dispersion relation is produced. The solutions of corresponding equations of motion and the prescribed boundary conditions give the dispersion relation. Numerical visualization demonstrates how phase velocity and attenuation change with different medium-depth ratios. For Geophysical and Engineering applications, these findings provide important insights about the viscoporoelastic characteristics that influence seismic wave behavior.
