Electro-magneto-thermoelastic surface waves in non-homogeneous orthotropic granular half space
Rajneesh Kakar and Shikha Kakar
Abstract
The effect of various parameters on the propagation of surface waves in electro-magneto thermoelastic orthotropic granular non-homogeneous medium subjected to gravity and initial compression has been studied. All material coefficients are obeyed the same exponent-law dependence on the depth of the granular elastic half space. Some special cases investigated by earlier researchers have also been deduced. Dispersion curves are computed numerically and presented graphically.
