Analysis of SH Wave Reflection and Refraction at a Viscoelastic Membrane Interface

Abstract

AbstractThis study investigates the behavior of shear-horizontal (SH) waves in viscoelastic substrates, with a particular focus on wave reflection and refraction phenomena. The interaction between SH waves and common interfaces of viscoelastic media ...Practical ApplicationsThis study analyzes the interaction of shear-horizontal (SH) waves with viscoelastic and strain-gradient membrane interfaces, revealing that wave behavior is highly sensitive to wave number and angle of incidence. Critical angles ...
