Abstract: Wave motion in a fluid saturated porous medium is studied analytically in this paper. By assuming that the porous medium is homogeneous, isotropic, elastic, and permeable and by treating the ...

Abstract: A new method was developed for determining the dynamic stress-strain relationships of materials subjected to high rate of torsional loading. In addition, an investigation of propagation of torsional ...

Abstract: For a simplified model of a laminated medium consisting of alternating layers of elastic and viscoelastic materials, the dispersion and attenuation characteristics for “plane,” longitudinal waves ...

Abstract: A method for studying the behavior of transient longitudinal waves in fiber-reinforced composites, both in high and low frequency ranges, is presented. The results agree well with the solutions ...

Abstract: A method for determining the material properties of a fluid-saturated rock via the measured wave motions is presented in this paper. The essence of the method is to compare the dispersive ...
