Abstract:
Initial boundary value problem of wave propagation in half plane filled with fluid-saturated porous solid is considered. Biot's medium is isotropic homogeneous and pores are opened on the boundary. Using complex analysis techniques, explicit formulae for components of displacement vectors in elastic and fluid phases are obtained.
Key words and phrases:Lamb's problem, porous media, Biot's theory, Rayleigh wave, head wave, wave propagation.
