Love Wave Behavior in Composite Fiber-Reinforced Structure
Publication: International Journal of Geomechanics
Volume 17, Issue 9
Abstract
An exact approach is used to discuss the Love wave behavior in a composite reinforced structure. In this body, the reinforced medium is covered by an initially stressed isotropically half-space from above and an initially stressed orthotropically half-space from below. The generalized dispersion relation of the Love wave is obtained in the presence of associated initial stress and reinforced parameters, which approve the significant effect of these parameters on the propagation of the Love wave in a composite fiber-reinforced structure. The obtained dispersion equation is in closed form, which is in agreement with the classical Love wave equation. Moreover, some important peculiarities are observed in the graphs.
