Abstract: A theory of composite materials is proposed which is based on the continuum theory of mixtures. The constituents of a composite are modeled as superimposed continua which undergo individual ...

Abstract: This paper presents several analytical solutions for problems of harmonic wave propagation in a poroelastic medium. The pressure‐solid displacement form of the harmonic equations of motion for a poroelastic solid are ...

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 ...
