Dispersion of Love Wave in a Heterogeneous Orthotropic Layer Under Compressive Pre-Stress Lying Over an Isotropic Elastic Half-space With Rectangular Irregularity

This paper gives a theoretical take a look at on a dispersion of Love waves in a heterogeneous orthotropic layer under compressive pre-stress lying over an isotropic elastic half-space with rectangular irregularity. The heterogeneity within the layer is believed to get up due to exponential variation in shear moduli, pre-stress, and density. A closed-form solution has been gotten for the displacement within the assumed layer as well as infinite half-space. Numerical consequences are introduced for propagation characteristic within the terms of some of the dimensionless parameters and have been produced graphically.
