Rayleigh waves in nonlocal porous thermoelastic layer with Green-Lindsay model
Ismail Haque and Siddhartha Biswas
Abstract
The paper deals with the propagation of Rayleigh waves in a nonlocal thermoelastic isotropic layer which is lying
over a nonlocal thermoelastic isotropic half-space under the purview of Green-Lindsay model and Eringen's nonlocal elasticity
in the presence of voids. The normal mode analysis is employed to the considered equations to obtain vector matrix differential
equation which is then solved by eigenvalue approach. The frequency equation of Rayleigh waves is derived and different
particular cases are also deduced. The effects of voids and nonlocality on different characteristics of Rayleigh waves are
presented graphically.
