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 closed on the boundary. Using complex analysis techniques, explicit formulae for displacements in elastic and fluid phases are obtained.
Key words and phrases:Lamb's problem, porous media, Biot's theory, impermeable boundary, head wave, Rayleigh wave.
