Love Waves in Voigt-Type Viscoelastic Inhomogeneous Layer Overlying a Gravitational Half-Space
Abstract In this study, the author considers the propagation of Love waves in an inhomogeneous viscoelastic layer over a gravitational half-space when the upper boundary is assumed to be free. The proposed model is solved to obtain the dispersion relationship for Love waves in the Voigt-type layer under the effect of gravity, inhomogeneity, and initial stress. The relationship between the phase velocity and wave number of Love waves is expressed and then demonstrated with an interactive code. In the absence of various parameters of the medium, the results are in agreement with the classical results. They may be useful for understanding the nature of seismic wave propagation in geophysical applications and in the field of earthquake engineering.
